TestFixture attributes on base classes are not ignored

NOTE: Nunit 2.5.5 acts as expected

Just to be clear, the example given is not from the docs, as it seems
from reading the bug description. The behavior still seems odd though.

The documentation reflected an earlier version of the code and was no longer correct. It has now been corrected online.
