This removes the "Running Conformance Tests With kubetest" section from conformance-tests.md. kubetest has been deprecated since July 2020 in favor of kubetest2 (see the deprecation notice at the top of kubernetes/test-infra/kubetest/README.md), and is in maintenance mode only, so this doc was pointing contributors at a go get command for a tool the project no longer wants new users adopting.

The KinD section immediately above the removed one already documents a current, working way to run conformance tests directly against e2e.test, so no replacement instructions were needed. Also updated one remaining prose reference to test-infra/kubetest in the "Running Conformance Tests" intro to be tool-agnostic instead of naming a tool that's now defunct.

kubetest has been deprecated since July 2020 in favor of kubetest2,
but this doc still documented it as a supported way to run conformance
tests, including a go get command for a repo path that's now
maintenance-only. Removed the section and updated the one remaining
prose reference to it to be tool-agnostic instead. The KinD section
right above it already documents a current, working way to run these
tests directly against e2e.test.

Hi @magic-peach. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a kubernetes member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work.

Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.
