When running CI in other repositories (e.g. Docker's downstream
docker/engine repository), or other branches, the validation
scripts were calculating the list of changes based on the wrong
information.
This lead to weird failures in CI in a branch where these values
were not updated ':-) (CI on a pull request failed because it detected
that new tests were added to the deprecated `integration-cli` test-suite,
but the pull request did not actually make changes in that area).
This patch allows overriding the target repository (and branch)
to compare to (without having to edit the scripts).
