Documentation: KUnit: make usage.rst a superset of tips.rst, remove duplication
usage.rst had most of the content of the tips.rst page copied over. But it's missing https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v6.0/dev-tools/kunit/tips.html#customizing-error-messages Copy it over so we can retire tips.rst w/o losing content. And in that process, it also gained a duplicate section about how KUNIT_ASSERT_*() exit the test case early. Remove that.

+Customizing error messages
+--------------------------
+
+Each of the ``KUNIT_EXPECT`` and ``KUNIT_ASSERT`` macros have a ``_MSG``
+variant. These take a format string and arguments to provide additional
+context to the automatically generated error messages.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ char some_str[41];
+ generate_sha1_hex_string(some_str);
+
+ /* Before. Not easy to tell why the test failed. */
+ KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, strlen(some_str), 40);
+
+ /* After. Now we see the offending string. */
+ KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ_MSG(test, strlen(some_str), 40, "some_str='%s'", some_str);
+
+Alternatively, one can take full control over the error message by using
+``KUNIT_FAIL()``, e.g.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ /* Before */
+ KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, some_setup_function(), 0);
+
+ /* After: full control over the failure message. */
+ if (some_setup_function())
