Documentation: kunit: Remove references to --defconfig

The --defconfig option in kunit_tool was removed in [1], but the getting
started and kunit_tool documentation still encouraged its use. Update
those documents to reflect that it's no-longer required, and is the
default behaviour if no .kunitconfig is found.

Also update a couple of places where .kunitconfig is still referred to
as kunitconfig (this was changed in [2]).

What is a kunitconfig?
======================
What is a .kunitconfig?
=======================
It's just a defconfig that kunit_tool looks for in the base directory.
kunit_tool uses it to generate a .config as you might expect. In addition, it
verifies that the generated .config contains the CONFIG options in the
kunitconfig; the reason it does this is so that it is easy to be sure that a

CONFIG that enables a test actually ends up in the .config.
How do I use kunit_tool?
@ -46,16 +46,9 @@ However, you most likely want to use it with the following options:
- ``--timeout`` sets a maximum amount of time to allow tests to run.
- ``--jobs`` sets the number of threads to use to build the kernel.
If you just want to use the defconfig that ships with the kernel, you can
append the ``--defconfig`` flag as well:
.. code-block:: bash
./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --timeout=30 --jobs=`nproc --all` --defconfig
.. note::
This command is particularly helpful for getting started because it
just works. No kunitconfig needs to be present.
This command will work even without a .kunitconfig file: if no
.kunitconfig is present, a default one will be used instead.
For a list of all the flags supported by kunit_tool, you can run:
