Doc: make "Testing persistence-setup" clearer

boyska requested to merge doc/test-persistence-setup-clarify into master

While working on !81 (merged) I found the documentation on https://tails.boum.org/contribute/release_process/persistence-setup/ to be not as frictionless as I have liked it to be.

In particular:

  • I missed the part where I needed to change my directory
  • I found the export TAILS_GIT_CHECKOUT= part error prone.

So I propose this changes, in which the two code blocks can just be copy-pasted. I think that's easier. I also change the wording a bit.

A final note is on the last commit: I found many tests failing because of uninstalled dependencies (running debian buster), so I manually found which packages solved the problem and documented that in the Install test dependencies code block.
