PR: Show Help if closed when opening tutorial to avoid user confusion #6345

Fixes #6317 .

The actual change is a simple one, just showing the help plugin if it is closed or hidden when the user selects the tutorial from the help menu, for a better Ux and to avoid user confusion particularly when trying to learn the basics of Spyder. However, the more extensive changes are in some cleanup and minor fixes to the newly added help tests, and both unit and integration tests to cover this scenario as well as general help functionality.

Not a huge priority, but fits in the realm of user help/doc/error/quality of life improvements that 3.2.7 is centered around, so would be nice to have it in that.

@CAM-Gerlach, this has now a conflict with 3.x. Please solve it by making a rebase or a merge with 3.x.

@ccordoba12 Yup; its with my other PR you just merged, as I expected would occur since they both needed to modify the same import line in test_mainwindow.py. I'll rebase it momentarily.

Botched the rebase the first time; that's what I get for using meld as my mergetool vs. the good old manual method...should be good to go now.

Thanks @CAM-Gerlach! Very comprehensive tests for such a small fix ;-)
