[PULL 16/28] tests/functional: remove time.sleep usage from tuxrun tests

[Alex Bennée]

From: Daniel P. Berrangé <berrange@redhat.com>

The tuxrun tests send a series of strings to the guest to login
and then run commands. Since we have been unable to match on
console output that isn't followed by a newline, the test used
many time.sleep() statements to pretend to synchronize with
the guest.

This has proved to be unreliable for the aarch64be instance of
the tuxrun tests, with the test often hanging. The hang is a
very subtle timing problem, and it is suspected that some
(otherwise apparently harmless) I/O error messages could be
resulting in full FIFO buffers, stalling interaction with
the guest.

With the newly rewritten console interaction able to match
strings that don't have a following newline, the tux run
tests can now match directly on the login prompt, and/or
shell PS1 prompt.
