Move useful helper methods for working with entities from EntityKernelTestBase to a trait

Problem/Motivation

EntityKernelTestBase is a very useful test base class, as it provides a bunch of useful helper methods and does some work in setUp() which are not present in the parent class KernelTestBase. This makes it useful for any tests that cover any kind of entity-related code.

However, it enables the entity_test module, which is a test module which provides a huge list of entity types for testing. This is not always desirable in tests.

Steps to reproduce

Proposed resolution

Move useful helper methods for working with entities to the KernelTestBase class.

Other possibilities were:

a. Remove the 'entity_test' module from EntityKernelTestBase, and enable it in child classes that need it
b. Remove the 'entity_test' module from EntityKernelTestBase, and make a new child class of EntityKernelTestBase for test classes that need the module to inherit from
c. Provide a new parent class of EntityKernelTestBase which is more reusable
