tests/Makefile: allow control over tags during check-acceptance
Although it is possible to run a specific test using the avocado command-line, a user may want to use a specific tag while running the ``make check-acceptance`` during the development or debugging. This allows using the AVOCADO_TAGS environment variable where the user takes total control of which tests should run based on the tags defined. This also makes the check-acceptance command flexible to restrict tests based on tags while running on CI. e.g.: AVOCADO_TAGS="foo bar baz" make check-acceptance Signed-off-by: Willian Rampazzo <willianr@redhat.com> Tested-by: Wainer dos Santos Moschetta <wainersm@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Wainer dos Santos Moschetta <wainersm@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Thomas Huth <thuth@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Philippe Mathieu-Daudé <philmd@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Philippe Mathieu-Daudé <philmd@redhat.com> Message-Id: <20210923161141.232208-2-willianr@redhat.com>
