Remove add_restricted_paths from TUTORIAL.md and test_tutorial.py

add_restricted_paths was renamed to add_path; however, this function represents a problematic element of TUF that assumes that roles are have a single delegator and delegatee, and that one can refer to a role's expected keys without being concerned about any delegation metadata.... So this is being removed from the tutorial. In time, add_paths will either be removed or changed (to expect a delegator role and a delegatee role, not just a delegatee role). This comment does not do justice to the issue: please see TUF GitHub Issue theupdateframework#660: theupdateframework#660 Signed-off-by: Sebastien Awwad <sebastien.awwad@gmail.com>
