Eeeww ;-)  This makes readers wonder where we did not enable the
test and why.  Perhaps throw in a matching

	t1509_allowed=NO

in the azure thing for completeness?

Also, do we want to give a more descriptive name than t1509 to the
variable, say, ROOT_WORK_TREE_TEST_ALLOWED?

Big EWWWWWWwwww.  Do we need to do this for _all_ tests, not
selectively only while running t1509?  This makes me worried as a
test by mistake can easily corrupt the VM and invalidating the
tests; I know we get a fresh one every time, so there is no
permanent harm done by corrupting it, but having one fewer thing we
have to worry about is always better than having one more thing.
