This makes it clear that the warning is expected not just
ignored, so we don't end up having various unnecessary
linting rules in the codebase.

Some parts of the codebase already use this approach, this
patch just applies it more broadly.

No functional changes.

If you spin this again, would you mind adding a comment/`reason` about
why there isn't documentation here?

This is preexisting but something to shift the possible meaning from
"this module shouldn't have documentation" to "it's okay that we don't
document unstable test interfaces" would be helpful.

Thanks,
