For consistency with the more recent test items.
This amends commit 082956b4f ("RELNOTES: add security, feature, test and
profile items", 2026-05-02).
Relates to #7147.
This should ensure that the tests work even if custom XDG user
directories are used (such as when set in `~/.config/user-dirs.dirs`).
The tests should work even if the relevant environment variables are
empty (or set to `$HOME`), though note that the setup commands in
test/fs/fs.sh likely still have to be executed before the .exp files are
executed.
Relates to #7147#7163.
Add the following directories from the xdg-user-dirs specification[1]:
* `XDG_PUBLICSHARE_DIR="$HOME/Public"`
* `XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR="$HOME/Templates"`
With this, all directories from the specification are supported as
macros.
See also /etc/xdg/user-dirs.defaults.
Relates to #7157#7163.

Changes:
* Use `scan-build make` instead of running `scan-build` inside of `make`
(this appears to be necessary for the output synchronization to work)
* Use `-j "$(nproc)"` and `-Orecurse` for the main `make` step in all
jobs (including where this step is currently not parallel)
The main drawback of using parallel make (`-j`) is that the output of
different jobs may be printed interspersed, which makes the output
harder to read and less stable across multiple executions.
Example:
job1: line1
job1: line2
job2: line1
job3: line1
job1: line3
Using `-Orecurse` should fix this by ensuring that the output of all
jobs is still printed sequentially in the order that the jobs were
executed (that is, as if `-j` was not used), even if the jobs themselves
are executed in parallel.
This should ensure that the main `make` step in each job runs its
targets in parallel and has a stable output at the same time, making it
easier to compare the logs of the same job across different CI runs.
Note: The `-O` flag is specific to GNU make and was added in version 4.0
(2013-10-09).

Add the mesa path and the old nvidia path:
* `~/.cache/mesa_shader_cache`
* `~/.nv`
This is a follow-up to commit 263f576d2 ("profiles: steam: whitelist
.cache/nvidia (#7114)", 2026-04-23).
Currently it is not possible to use XDG-related macros (such as
`${DOCUMENTS}`) with subpaths (such as `${DOCUMENTS}/foo`) and so
profiles just use `${HOME}` with a hardcoded path using the English
directory name and the subpath (such as `${HOME}/Documents/foo`).
Allow using subpaths after XDG macros, so that they automatically use
the auto-detected XDG path, just as when currently using the XDG macros
without subpaths.
Before:
${HOME}/Documents/foo
After:
${DOCUMENTS}/foo
This is a follow-up to #7147.

Fail faster instead of waiting for the timeout.
See also commit a4e6495fd ("modif: do not follow symlinks to /dev/null
on disable (#7129)", 2026-04-17).
Use `_firejail_test_file` instead of `blablabla`, as the former is a
more common filename in tests and is what is actually removed in
test/fs/fs.sh.
