When the documentation was updated for modular tests, the dependency on "KUNIT=y" was forgotten to be updated, now encouraging people to create tests that cannot be enabled when the KUNIT framework itself is modular. Fix this by changing the dependency to "KUNIT".

Document when it is appropriate (and required) to depend on "KUNIT=y".

Nice catch: we definitely should be recommending that all tests are buildable as modules if possible.

(I think this is already the case in most of the rest of the documentation..., but the getting started guide really shouldn't be teaching bad habits.)
