Add testing setup instructions on wordpress-develop repository readme

Description

While setting up my environment, I was surprised by running unit tests and seeing an error about a missing config file.

Error: wp-tests-config.php is missing! Please use wp-tests-config-sample.php to create a config file.
child_process.js:655
    throw err;

While I do expect configuration setup when trying to run tests against a different local instance, seeing this error when trying to run this against the docker env made me question if I was doing something wrong.

I have a pull request that makes some suggested changes in the readme to help guide others:

  • Keywords has-patch added

This PR updates the readme to add instructions to create wp-tests-config.php before running tests.

If we run npm run test:php we'll see the following error if wp-tests-config.php doesn't exist.

Error: wp-tests-config.php is missing! Please use wp-tests-config-sample.php to create a config file.

  • Milestone changed from 5.9 to Future Release

Today is 5.9 Feature Freeze. I'll punt this to Future Release (as 6.0 isn't
available yet for selection).

Test and build tool changes are allowed after feature freeze up until RC. If someone is able to work on this before then, it can always be moved back.
