Fix action support for ViewSet suffixes (#6081)

* Add suffix support for actions

Removes the newly introduced `action.name` in favor of leveraging the
View's `.get_view_name()` method, which supports both name and suffix.

* Fix view description func docstrings

* Test action decorator name & suffix kwargs

* Adjust 'extra action' docs

 ## Marking extra actions for routing
 
-If you have ad-hoc methods that should be routable, you can mark them as such with the `@action` decorator. Like regular actions, extra actions may be intended for either a list of objects, or a single instance. To indicate this, set the `detail` argument to `True` or `False`. The router will configure its URL patterns accordingly. e.g., the `DefaultRouter` will configure detail actions to contain `pk` in their URL patterns.
