1. test: remove common.noop …

   This change removes `common.noop` from the Node.js internal testing
   common module.
   
   Over the last few weeks, I've grown to dislike the `common.noop`
   abstraction.
   
   First, new (and experienced) contributors are unaware of it and so it
   results in a large number of low-value nits on PRs. It also increases
   the number of things newcomers and infrequent contributors have to be
   aware of to be effective on the project.
   
   Second, it is confusing. Is it a singleton/property or a getter? Which
   should be expected? This can lead to subtle and hard-to-find bugs. (To
   my knowledge, none have landed on master. But I also think it's only a
   matter of time.)
   
   Third, the abstraction is low-value in my opinion. What does it really
   get us? A case could me made that it is without value at all.
   
   Lastly, and this is minor, but the abstraction is wordier than not using
   the abstraction. `common.noop` doesn't save anything over `() => {}`.
   
   So, I propose removing it.
