[docs] [issue17282] document the defaultTest parameter to unittest.main()

New submission from Chris Jerdonek:

This issue is to document the defaultTest parameter to unittest.main():

http://docs.python.org/dev/library/unittest.html#unittest.main

Note that it is not enough simply to say that *defaultTest* is a "default test name or iterable of test names."  The documentation should also say when *defaultTest* is used based on the value of the *module* and *argv* arguments, etc.

This issue is an offshoot of issue 15132.
