Each docs example has an `example-config.json` configuration file. Among
other things, this file can be used to specify what commands to run in
order to test the example. (If not specified, the `run-example-e2e.js`
script will run a default `yarn e2e` command.)
Previously, the property specifying the test commands was called `e2e`.
This is because in the past only e2e tests were run for docs examples.
Since recently, some examples may specify commands for other types of
tests (such as unit tests). Therefore, calling the property that holds
the list of test commands `e2e` no longer makes sense and can be
misleading to people looking at the configuration files.
This commit renamed the property to the more generic `tests`. In the
future, the `run-example-e2e.js` script (and corresponding npm script)
should be renamed and refactored to also avoid giving the impression
that only e2e tests are run.

Previously, only e2e tests were run for docs examples on CI. As a
result, unit tests (which are included in the zipped archives we provide
for users to download and play with the examples locally) were often
outdated and broken.
This commit configures specific docs examples that have meaningful unit
tests to run them on CI (via the `run-example-e2e.js` script). Where
necessary, the unit tests are fixed to ensure they pass and reflect the
changes in the corresponding component/service.
This commit also removes some auto-generated unit tests that are not
meaningful (e.g. make trivial assertions, such that a component instance
is truthy) and are often broken anyway (e.g. because the corresponding
component has been changed in ways that make the tests fail).
