I think this is too much unittest detail for this section, what about linking to 'load_tests Protocol' instead?

#158681
Doc/library/test.rstsaid thatpython -m testcalls a module-leveltest_main()when it exists, and otherwise loads tests withunittest.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule. It also told readers to calltest.support.reap_children()at the end oftest_main. The docstring ofreap_children()said the same thing.libregrtestdoes not calltest_main(). If the imported module defines it,Lib/test/libregrtest/single.pyraisesException. regrtest reports the module as failed with an uncaught exception (stderr:test <name> crashed; summary:failed (uncaught exception)). Tests are loaded withloadTestsFromModule, which collectsTestCaseclasses and, when the module definesload_tests, runs the suite that function returns. Packages useload_tests, usually viatest.support.load_package_tests, to add tests from submodules.reap_children()is called fromsetUp(),tearDown(), andtearDownModule().The runner is unchanged. This updates the library page and the
reap_children()docstring.
