The test verifies constant inode number after copy up.
Verify that inode number remains constant also after rename
and drop caches (when overlayfs needs to find the lower
inodes in another location).

Use helpers to records and check inode numbers so we can repeat
the same test after rename and mount cycle.

Align all comments to the term 'constant inode numbers' and
explain why hardlinks are excluded from this test.

Change test to output golden silence on success.
We are going to run the same check several times,
so instead of cloning the test output, cloning the
silence will be more conveniet.
Generalize cleanup of temp files for the same reason.

Use the new var OVL_BASE_SCRATCH_MNT to refer to overlay
base dir instead of the legacy SCRATCH_DEV var.
In overlay/011, when using MOUNT_PROG directly, provide
OVL_BASE_SCRATCH_MNT as device argument instead of 'none'.
This fix is required to support mount of base fs.

As preparation step for configuring test/scratch base fs
for overlay tests:
- Rename OVERLAY_LOWER/UPPER/WORK_DIR => OVL_LOWER/UPPER/WORK
because we want to use OVL_ prefix for all base fs vars
- Prepend "ovl-" prefix to lower/upper/work path values to
isolate the overlay test dirs when running on a base fs
that is also used to run non overlay tests
- Make those vars values non-configurable, because lower/upper/work
directory names are an internal test detail which should
not concern the user and because we wish to simplify
and document the overlay tests setup
- Add helper _filter_ovl_dirs and use it to filter output
of test overlay/023 which matches the constant string "work"

Introduce a new test to demonstrate a known issue with overlayfs:
- stat file A shows inode number X
- modify A to trigger copy up
- stat file A shows inode number Y != X
Also test if d_ino of readdir entries changes after copy up.
There is a POC patch by Miklos Szeredi that fixes this issue.
Not dealing with hardlinks here, because there is more to test
then stable inode number.
Hardlinks will get a test of their own.
