rust: kunit: allow to know if we are in a test

In some cases, we need to call test-only code from outside the test
case, for example, to mock a function or a module.

In order to check whether we are in a test or not, we need to test if
`CONFIG_KUNIT` is set.
Unfortunately, we cannot rely only on this condition because:
- a test could be running in another thread,
- some distros compile KUnit in production kernels, so checking at runtime
  that `current->kunit_test != NULL` is required.

Forturately, KUnit provides an optimised check in
`kunit_get_current_test()`, which checks CONFIG_KUNIT, a global static
key, and then the current thread's running KUnit test.

Add a safe wrapper function around this to know whether or not we are in
a KUnit test and examples showing how to mock a function and a module.

+/// Returns whether we are currently running a KUnit test.
+///
+/// In some cases, you need to call test-only code from outside the test case, for example, to
+/// create a function mock. This function allows to change behavior depending on whether we are
+/// currently running a KUnit test or not.
+///
+/// # Examples
+///
+/// This example shows how a function can be mocked to return a well-known value while testing:
+///
+/// ```
+/// # use kernel::kunit::in_kunit_test;
+/// fn fn_mock_example(n: i32) -> i32 {
+///     if in_kunit_test() {
+///         return 100;
+///     }
+///
+///     n + 1
+/// }
+///
+/// let mock_res = fn_mock_example(5);
+/// assert_eq!(mock_res, 100);
+/// ```
