Blindly overriding IMGOPTS is suboptimal as this discards user-specified options. Whatever options the test needs should simply be appended.
Some tests do this (with IMGOPTS=$(_optstr_add "$IMGOPTS" "...")), but that is cumbersome. It’s simpler to just give _make_test_img an -o parameter with which tests can add options. Some tests actually must override the user-specified options, though, for example when creating an image in a different format than the test $IMGFMT. For such cases, --no-opts allows clearing the current option list.
