LOG: llvm][docs] Use default checkout location in test suite guide (#139264)

Step 2 tells you to checkout "llvm-test-suite" to "test-suite", but I
don't see a particular reason to use a non-default path.

If you're following the instructions exactly, it all works, but if you
autopilot that step it is surprising later when things do not work.

It's not hard for an individual to fix later, but we should suggest the
least surprising thing where we can.
