check: add support for an external file containing tests to exclude
Currently the -X option is intended to specify a set of expunging
files which are stored in each test/* subdirectory. As described in
the commit description for
0b1e8abd4, in order to exclude the test
generic/280, the -X option is used as follows:
$ cat tests/generic/3.0-stable-avoid
280
$ sudo ./check -X 3.0-stable-avoid generic/280
However, it is sometimes useful to store the set of expunged tests in
a single file, outside of tests/* subdirectories. This commit enables
the following:
$ cat /root/conf/data_journal.exclude
generic/068
ext4/301
$ sudo ./check -E /root/conf/data_journal.exclude -g auto
