This bug was originally reported in
https://github.com/cbm755/octsympy/issues/1142

When running "pkg test symbolic" in CI, tests outside of the symbolic package
are being run.

After some debugging, it appears that the m-file
https://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/file/04120d65778a/scripts/pkg/private/expand_rel_paths.m
is causing problem.

This part of the code


    if (strncmpi (pkg_list{i}.dir, "__OH__", 6))
      pkg_list{i}.dir = [ loc pkg_list{i}.dir(7:end) ];
      pkg_list{i}.archprefix = [ loc pkg_list{i}.archprefix(7:end) ];


assumes "__OH__" is a prefix of "pkg_list{i}.archprefix" without actually
checking it.

In our case, "pkg_list{i}.archprefix" is the empty path, causing "loc" (which
is "/usr") to be prepended to the empty path. The end result is that the tests
of all m-file inside "/usr" are being run.
