Rework asynchronous tests documentation

See original GitHub issue

🚀 Feature Proposal

https://jestjs.io/docs/asynchronous

It currently says “The most common asynchronous pattern is callbacks.” This is wrong. We should put promises at the top, and callbacks last. We should probably lift up async-await as well, before the example returning promises.

If you want to work on this, please state so in this issue so not multiple people start working on it, creating redundant work 🙂

I think we should just have a plain async-await section first, then we can bring in resolves and rejects afterwards
