Some of these tests actually require the root filesystem image,

location, to be writable.

This makes a distinction between the tests that actually have this
requirement and those who don't.  The goal is to be as safe as
possible, avoiding causing cache misses (because the assets get
modified and thus need to be dowloaded again) while avoid copying the
root filesystem backing file whenever possible.

Having cache assets modified is a design issue. We should assume
the cache directory as read-only.

This also allow these tests to be run in parallel with newer Avocado
versions.
