Remove ActionController::TestCase from documentation
In Rails 5.1 `ActionController::TestCase` will be moved out of Rails into it's own gem. Please use `ActionDispatch::IntegrationTest` going foward. Because this will be moved to a gem I used `# :stopdoc:` instead of deleting the documentation. This will remove it from the Rails documentation but still leave the method documented for when we move it to a gem. Guides have been updated to use the routing structure used in Integration and all test examples have been updated to inherit from `ActionDispatch::IntegrationTest` instead of `ActionController::TestCase. Fixes #22496

Using plain Ruby you can wrap methods with other methods, that's called _alias chaining_.
