Commit fadb08e7c750 ("kunit: Support for Parameterized Testing")
introduced support but lacks documentation for how to use it.
This patch builds on commit 1f0e943df68a ("Documentation: kunit: provide
guidance for testing many inputs") to show a minimal example of the new
feature.

+The table-driven testing pattern is common enough that KUnit has special

+Reusing the same ``cases`` array from above, we can write the test as a
+"parameterized test" with the following.
