basePackageForTests can be configured automatically

without this change we always set the default value of the package with generated tests, unless a value overrides it.
with this change the flow for setting the generated tests package name will look like this:

- pick basePackageForTests
- if basePackageForTests wasn't set pick the package from baseClassForTests
- if baseClassForTests wasn't set pick packageWithBaseClasses
- if nothing got set pick the default org.springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.tests

The rationale behind this change is such that often in the base class you would like to have package scoped methods and the fact that the tests are always generated in the default location requires to make these methods public or always override this property.
