docs improvements for test module

[ospfranco]

Describe the bug

I'm trying to write some tests for the Rust backend. In those tests I'm trying to create instances of a mock api so I can tests the bindings to JS are properly setup:

#[cfg(test)]
mod tests {
    use super::*;
    use std::fs;
    use std::path::Path;

    fn setup<R: tauri::Runtime>(
        builder: tauri::Builder<R>,
    ) -> Result<tauri::App<R>, std::io::Error> {
        let app = builder
            .plugin(super::init())
            .build(tauri::generate_context!())
            .unwrap();

        ...

        Ok(app)
    }

    #[test]
    fn should_drop_model() {
        let app = setup(tauri::test::mock_builder()).unwrap();
        let app_data_dir = app.handle().path_resolver().app_data_dir().unwrap();
        ...
    }

    #[test]
    fn should_drop_model2() {
        let app = setup(tauri::test::mock_builder()).unwrap();
        let app_data_dir = app.handle().path_resolver().app_data_dir().unwrap();
        ...
    }
}

However, whenever I try to run my tests I get the following error:

error: symbol `_EMBED_INFO_PLIST` is already defined
   --> src/nebula/nebula.rs:352:20
    |
352 |             .build(tauri::generate_context!())
    |                    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    |
    = note: this error originates in the macro `$crate::embed_info_plist_bytes` which comes from the expansion of the macro `tauri::generate_context` (in Nightly builds, run with -Z macro-backtrace for more info)

There is not a lot of documentation on how to achieve this but I can assume that creating multiple instances of a tauri app is not supported?

I just stumbled upon mock_app():

let app = tauri::test::mock_app();

That seems to work. Would be great to have this documented better.

Moved this to the docs repo because i think the whole testing guide needs improvements, however this also needs to be fixed in the rust code docs so it's really an issue in both repos.

In order to create an app with the JS bindings I needed to test I had to do it this way, not sure if it is the correct way but it works for me:

let app = tauri::test::mock_builder()
            .plugin(super::init())
            .build(mock_context(noop_assets()))
            .unwrap();
