Although this is an interesting idea, I'm not sure if I find time for it. Feel
free to further improve it. For me is in the end trying to fix fanotify20 :).

The point of the test is to at least run something (kind of minimal testing but
better than nothing, because it's naive to expect anybody who touches library
tests it carefully with the real tests).

Anyway, in CI it will be always the same due using container (TPASS on Ubuntu's
6.17.0-1020-azure).

Kind regards,
Petr
