[PATCH 1/3] rust: kunit: use `file!()` inside `kunit_assert!`

From: Gary Guo

Date: Tue Jun 16 2026 - 11:29:35 EST


This parameter is needed currently because doctests want to override the
file. Simplify it by changing it to use `file!()`. Have doctests override
`file!()` macro to achieve the current behavior.

This allows us to remove the `file` helper and associated Kconfig options.
