The test failure (with quiet=False) will highlight when the context
manager "check_warnings()" is no longer needed. It displays an helpful
message to identify which warnings are no longer raised.
Obviously these new features will not be backported to 2.6.

> The test_support module documentation also needs to be updated

Thank you for noticing the documentation. I will add these methods.

These helpers were changed to deal with #7092 more elegantly, while
keeping an eye on the Warnings, and see if they are effectively
raised.
We didn't need the (line, module) arguments for our use case.
But if you need them, someone could propose a patch.
