Renaming test statistics to use the mu subscript more explicitly

See original GitHub issue

Maybe too late to for such a change, but what do you think about using these names “q0”, “qmu” and “qmu_tilde” in the hypotest test_stat argument? I believe they are more readable and the connection to the formulas in the asymptotics paper is even more clear with the “mu” subscript.

The unicode also looks good to me. The main motivation is that “qmu” and “qµ” read the same way as the variable in the paper, but “q” does not.
