The tests 016-018 were added to track overlayfs 'Non-standard behavior'
as are documented in Documentation/filesystems/overlayfs.txt, with the
intention of fixing those behaviors 'some day'.

While that day seems to be seen in the horizon, at least for test 017,
it may take a while longer for all those tests to pass.
Add those tests to group 'experimental' so at least this special status
is published somehow.

The first three patches look good to me, but I'm a bit reluctant on
merging this one.

To me, this new 'experimental' group serves as an indication of "this
test is known to fail". But this info already can be found in commit
logs and comments of these tests. Also fstests had been pushing back
attempts to add "known issue" support in the past. So I'd rather drop
this patch.

Thanks,
Eryu

Perfectly fine by me.
I have no problem remembering that those tests fail and why ;)
