Custom settings file is not reflected in the tests

[rsvoboda]

Both test framework and test suite GH Actions CI uses .github/mvn-settings.xml.

But the tests that run mvn command do not reflect that settings. These executions rely on settings file in the default location.

CC @mjurc @michalvavrik wdyt about support for custom settings file for the tests based maven invocation?
The same could apply for custom maven.repo.local. But on the other hand, this would be probably just Maven specific.

It would allow us to stop copying settings to ~/.m2 as we do in Jenkins jobs, right? +1

TBH I thought system properties are already propagated, so I'd expect maven.repo.local to work already. Probably wrong now that I read your description.
