[PATCH] docs/devel: Fix qtest paths and info about check-block in testin


From: Thomas Huth
Subject: [PATCH] docs/devel: Fix qtest paths and info about check-block in testing.rst
Date: Wed, 22 Jan 2020 14:45:11 +0100

The qtests have recently been moved to a separate subdirectory, so
the paths that are mentioned in the documentation have to be adjusted
accordingly. And some of the iotests are now always run as part of
"make check", so this information has to be adjusted here, too.
