Description

### Checklist

- [X] I have searched for [similar issues](https://github.com/isl-org/Open3D/issues).
- [X] For Python issues, I have tested with the [latest development wheel](http://www.open3d.org/docs/latest/getting_started.html#development-version-pip).
- [X] I have checked the [release documentation](http://www.open3d.org/docs/release/) and the [latest documentation](http://www.open3d.org/docs/latest/) (for `master` branch).

### Describe the issue

This is a tutorial documentation issue that prevents the tutorial from working without significant user debugging.

This document

http://www.open3d.org/docs/release/tutorial/t_geometry/pointcloud.html

says to

`import open3d_tutorial as o3dtut
`

but that will never be found, because the file was renamed in a prior issue and is now

`open3d_example.py
`

which may also not be found because it doesn't live in any default path.

If the document were to say this instead, it will likely prevent people from having to go through layers of searches and old, broken solutions (like the one currently on StackOverflow):

```
sys.path.append(os.path.expanduser('~/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/open3d/examples'))
import open3d_example as o3dtut
```

### Steps to reproduce the bug

```python
n/a
```
