    tests: repo: fix repo discovery tests on overlayfs Debian and Ubuntu often use schroot to build their DEB packages in a controlled environment. Depending on how schroot is configured, our tests regarding repository discovery break due to not being able to find the repositories anymore. It turns out that these errors occur when the schroot is configured to use an overlayfs on the directory structures. The reason for this failure is that we usually refrain from discovering repositories across devices. But unfortunately, overlayfs does not have consistent device identifiers for all its files but will instead use the device number of the filesystem the file stems from. So whenever we cross boundaries between the upper and lower layer of the overlay, we will fail to properly detect the repository and bail out. This commit fixes the issue by enabling cross-device discovery in our tests. While it would be preferable to have this turned off, it probably won't do much harm anyway as we set up our tests in a temporary location outside of the parent repository.
