testing: clarify in docs that TestMain is advanced

Browse Source 
Beginner and intermediate Go users periodically use TestMain when
requirements do not necessitate TestMain (exceeding least-mechanism
design). This commit expands package testing's documentation to convey
that the TestMain feature itself is somewhat low-level and potentially
unsuitable for casual testing where ordinary test functions would
suffice.

Fixes #42161
Updates #44200
