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

The console interaction that waits for predicted strings uses
readline(), and thus is only capable of waiting for strings
that are followed by a newline.

This is inconvenient when needing to match on some things,
particularly login prompts, or shell prompts, causing tests
to use time.sleep(...) instead, which is unreliable.

Switch to reading the console 1 byte at a time, comparing
against the success/failure messages until we see a match,
regardless of whether a newline is encountered.

The success/failure comparisons are done with the python bytes
type, rather than strings, to avoid the problem of needing to
decode partially received multibyte utf8 characters.

Heavily inspired by a patch proposed by Cédric, but written
again to work in bytes, rather than strings.
