Sergey Biryukov 85ae9dd89b Tests: Consistently skip tests for non-implemented methods in REST API test classes.
WordPress core test suite uses PHPUnit's `beStrictAboutTestsThatDoNotTestAnything` option set to `true`, which marks a test as risky when no assertions are performed.

REST API test classes have some empty tests for non-implemented methods because these test classes extend the abstract `WP_Test_REST_Controller_Testcase` class, which requires several methods to be implemented that don't necessarily make sense for all REST API routes.

Some of these empty tests were already marked as skipped, but not in a consistent manner. Since skipping these tests is intentional for the time being, this commit aims to bring some consistency and adjust them all to be more accurately reported as skipped instead of risky.

The skipping can be reconsidered in the future when the tests are either removed as unnecessary or updated to actually perform assertions related to their behavior.

Follow-up to [40534], [41176], [41228].

The short version:

1. Create a clean MySQL database and user. DO NOT USE AN EXISTING DATABASE or you will lose data, guaranteed.

2. Copy wp-tests-config-sample.php to wp-tests-config.php, edit it and include your database name/user/password.

3. $ svn up

4. Run the tests from the "trunk" directory:
   To execute a particular test:
      $ phpunit tests/phpunit/tests/test_case.php
   To execute all tests:
      $ phpunit

Notes:

Test cases live in the 'tests' subdirectory. All files in that directory will be included by default. Extend the WP_UnitTestCase class to ensure your test is run.

phpunit will initialize and install a (more or less) complete running copy of WordPress each time it is run. This makes it possible to run functional interface and module tests against a fully working database and codebase, as opposed to pure unit tests with mock objects and stubs. Pure unit tests may be used also, of course.

Changes to the test database will be rolled back as tests are finished, to ensure a clean start next time the tests are run.

phpunit is intended to run at the command line, not via a web server.
