Add default arguments for Project Euler problem 6 (#2957)
- Add default arguments to solution function
- Add link to Project Euler problem 6
- Add doctest for testing `solution()`
- Removed test_solutions.py as it is redundant

Problem 6: https://projecteuler.net/problem=6
The sum of the squares of the first ten natural numbers is,
1^2 + 2^2 + ... + 10^2 = 385
The square of the sum of the first ten natural numbers is,
(1 + 2 + ... + 10)^2 = 552 = 3025
Hence the difference between the sum of the squares of the first ten natural
numbers and the square of the sum is 3025 385 = 2640.
Find the difference between the sum of the squares of the first N natural
numbers and the square of the sum.
