The test file for Hello World is overly confusing and can turn off newcomers about raku

New functionality added to the generator so that canonical data can be ignored in PR #305

PR open @ #298

What if we shortened the entire thing to:

#!/usr/bin/env perl6
use v6; # This ensures that we're using Perl 6 instead of Perl 5
use Test; # See https://docs.perl6.org/language/testing for more information
use HelloWorld; # Import the HelloWorld.pm6 file. This imports the hello subroutine that we call below
plan 1; # This is how many tests we expect to run

is hello, "Hello, World!"; # checks that the two are equal

The absence of use lib is not ideal as it would require the user to set PERL6LIB themselves.

There is an existing PR to remove versioning @ #228, the reason it was there originally is because if a test file were changed, and someone attempted to run it against an older solution, comments would be made regarding failing tests. When a test is run the version check alerts the user not to expect all tests to succeed due to potential changes. It likely isn't needed anymore but need to make sure that it isn't.
