[erlang-questions] clarify: init_per_suite/0 in Common Test

[Robert Virding]

There is a suite/0 for function, described here:

http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/common_test.html#Module:suite-0
http://www.erlang.org/doc/apps/common_test/write_test_chapter.html#id69736

which is an info function for the whole test suite. It is the suite version of the <test-case>/0 function.
