Add example_params_test_with_init() to illustrate how to manage
shared resources across a parameterized KUnit test. This example
showcases the use of the new param_init() function and its registration
to a test using the KUNIT_CASE_PARAM_WITH_INIT() macro.
Additionally, the test demonstrates how to directly pass a parameter array
to the parameterized test context via kunit_register_params_array()
and leveraging the Resource API for shared resource management.

Changes in v2:
- kunit_array_gen_params() is now explicitly passed to
KUNIT_CASE_PARAM_WITH_INIT() to be consistent with
a parameterized test being defined by the existence
of the generate_params() function.
- The comments were edited to be more concise.
- The patch header was changed to reflect that this example
test's intent is more aligned with showcasing using the
Resource API for shared resource management.
- The comments and the commit message were changed to
reflect the parameterized testing terminology. See
the patch series cover letter change log for the
definitions.

Maybe we should note that KUNIT_CASE_PARAM_ARRAY{,_DESC}() doesn't let
us set an init function, so would be less useful here.

Hello!
Thank you for adding this example test! As before, this test looks good to me:
