[QGIS-Developer] Running unit tests without "make install"

[Hugh Kelley]

Hi Thomas, generally the easiest way to solve this sort of problem is to
use a virtual machine to isolate the install from the rest of your
computer. You'll find instructions for doing this with docker in the qgis
repository here: https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/tree/master/.docker

Happy new year!
