[Lava-users] Overridding lava_test_{results_,}dir

Hey all,

I'm currently hitting an interesting issue; We're deploying debian- based images in our tests which have most of / mounted read-only. Unfortunately the default deployment data for Debian indicates that the various lava-test-shell related directories show live in /lava-xxxxx to which in our booted image ofcourse nothing can write.

It would be good to give test writers the freedom to specify a sensible base-path for lava's usage to avoid these types of issues. The option to add a Debian variant to deployment data on our setup is somewhat less attractive as that requires server configuration. (Changing the images to mount / as read-write is not an option as that would defeat the point of the test).
