Remove unused generate_test_badge.py utility and all references

The badge generation utility was not used in the actual implementation:
- Workflows generate JSON directly (no Python utility needed)
- Hugo template reads JSON directly (no utility needed)
- SVG/text badge generation not required

Removed:
- build_steps/generate_test_badge.py (160 lines)

Updated documentation to remove references:
- tests/COMPLETE_GUIDE.md (removed 'Badge Generation Utility' section)
- SMOKE_TESTS_BRANCH_SUMMARY.md (removed utility from file list)
- EXECUTIVE_SUMMARY.md (removed from utilities section)

This simplifies the codebase and removes confusion about how badges work.
Badges are generated entirely through: Workflows → JSON → Hugo template.
