Malformed test function name

Reports malformed names of tests, benchmarks, and examples.

According to Package testing at go.dev, names must follow a special convention in order to make the go tool process them correctly.

Example:

func Testfoo(*testing.T) {} // the 'go' tool will not run this test

After the Rename to quick-fix is applied:

func TestFoo(*testing.T) {}
