[PATCH xfstests v2] overlay: Enable character device to be the base fs partition

[Zhihao Cheng]

There is a message in _supported_fs():
    _notrun "not suitable for this filesystem type: $FSTYP"
for when overlay usecases are executed on a chararcter device based base
fs. _overay_config_override() detects that the current base fs partition
is not a block device, and FSTYP won't be overwritten as 'overlay' before
executing usecases which results in all overlay usecases become 'notrun'.
In addition, all generic usecases are based on base fs rather than overlay.

We want to rewrite FSTYP to 'overlay' before running the usecases. To do
this, we need to add additional character device judgments for TEST_DEV
and SCRATCH_DEV in _overay_config_override().
