[DOCS] Remove 'Testing' chapter (elastic#55270)

Removes the 'Testing' chapter from the Elasticsearch Reference guide. This chapter was originally written for so that users using the Java HLRC client could use the same test classes when testing Elasticsearch in their own applications. However, this is no longer the case or recommended. Closes elastic#55257.
