Close #18952: correctly download test support data
When test.support was converted to a package, it started silently skipping the tests which needed to download support data to run. This change refactors the affected code, and also tidies up test.support.findfile to remove the unused *here* parameter, document the *subdir* parameter and rename the *filename* parameter to avoid shadowing the file builtin and be consistent with the documentation. The unexpected skips were noticed and reported by Zachary Ware
