Add a section on writing effective tests to the contributor guide #24797

Description

@2010YOUY01

Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge?

The existing contributor guide's "Testing" section only lists the existing test infrastructure: https://datafusion.apache.org/contributor-guide/testing.html

It would be helpful to add a section on how to write good tests, explaining the mental model and philosophy behind testing — something like "covering edge cases and error cases".
