This adds three "positive" tests: the common case --persist=.persist, the deprecated spelling --persist=/.persist, and the less common special case --persist=. as used by Steam. It also adds "negative" tests for CVE-2024-42472: if the --persist directory is a symbolic link or contains path segment "..", we want that to be rejected. Reproduces: CVE-2024-42472, GHSA-7hgv-f2j8-xw87 [smcv: Add "positive" tests] [smcv: Exercise --persist=..] [smcv: Assert that --persist with a symlink produces expected message] Co-authored-by: Simon McVittie <smcv@collabora.com> Signed-off-by: Simon McVittie <smcv@collabora.com>
