Fixed lfs_dir_fetchmatch not understanding overwritten tagsv2.1.4

Sometimes small, single line code change hides behind it a complicated
story. This is one of those times.

If you look at this diff, you may note that this is a case of
lfs_dir_fetchmatch not correctly handling a tag that invalidates a
callback used to search for some condition, in this case a search for a
parent, which is invalidated by a later dir tag overwritting the
previous dir pair.

But how can this happen? Dir-pair-tags are only overwritten during
relocations (when a block goes bad or exceeds the block_cycles config
option for dynamic wear-leveling). Other dir operations create new
directory entries. And the only lfs_dir_fetchmatch condition that relies
on overwrites (as opposed to proper deletes) is when we need to find a
directory's parent, an operation that only occurs during a _different_
relocation. And a false _positive_, can only happen if we don't have a
parent. Which is really unlikely when we search for directory parents!

This bug and minimal test case was found by Matthew Renzelmann. In a
unfortunate series of events, first a file creation causes a directory
split to occur. This creates a new, orphaned metadata-pair containing
our new file. However, the revision count on this metadata-pair
indicates the pair is due for relocation as a part of wear-leveling.
Normally, this is fine, even though this metadata-pair has no parent,
the lfs_dir_find should return ENOENT and continue without error.
However, here we get hit by our fetchmatch bug. A previous, unrelated
relocation overwrites a pair which just happens to contain the block
allocated for a new metadata-pair. When we search for a parent,
lfs_dir_fetchmatch incorrectly finds this old, outdated metadata pair
and incorrectly tells our orphan it's found its parent.

As you can imagine the orphan's dissapointment must be immense.

So an unfortunately timed dir split triggers a relocation which
incorrectly finds a previously written parent that has been outdated
by another relocation.

As a solution we can outdate our found tag if it is overwritten by
an exact match during lfs_dir_fetchmatch.

As a part of this I started adding a new set of tests: tests/test_relocations,
for aggressive relocations tests. This is already by appended to by
another PR. I suspect relocations is relatively under-tested and is
becoming more important due to recent improvements in wear-leveling.
