Need support only name in test level require #4422
Description
This requirement come from slack link
Description: If a test e.g(/networking/openvswitch/topo) need another folder as a library(/networking/common). These two folder come from the same git-root.
Currently, relative path didn't work in test-level require option.
test level path as below
houminxi@houminxi:~/code/kernel/networking/openvswitch/topo$ pwd
/home/houminxi/code/kernel/networking/openvswitch/topo
# realpath ../../common
/home/houminxi/code/kernel/networking/common
But when I define a local library in openvswitch/topo/main.fmf.
require:
- name: /common
path: ../../
type: library
TMT didn't find the correct path.
10:25:45 Detected library '{'path': Path('../..'), 'name': '/common', 'type': 'library'}'.
10:25:45 Fetch library '../common'.

Generally, we'll only encounter a few possibilities:
- From different git repositories. This is self-explanatory; use URL + name.
- From other directories within the same git repositories. #<----This is what we're discussing now.
- From a directory under an absolute path. I understand that this is currently supported very well.
tmt currently lacks a variable to point to an absolute path. So I hope require can support only pass name such as below:
require:
- name: /networking/common
type: library
When fmf == git root, using only name means starting the search for the folder specified by name from the current git root.
When fmf points to a subfolder of git, using only name means starting the search for the folder specified by name from within that subfolder.
