[PATCH] docs: dt: unittest: update to current unittest filenames

From: Markus Heidelberg

Date: Mon Feb 23 2026 - 06:36:45 EST


There have been several renamings and modified Make rules since
introduction of this unittest document.

The file list in the Chinese translation had been extended.
For a change to drivers/of/unittest-data/tests-*.dtsi surrounding
translation has to be updated.
