[PATCH v3 0/2] tests: Add functional test for out-of-process device emulation

[Willian Rampazzo <willianr@redhat.com>]

This series is a respin to the "multi-process: Acceptance test for
multiprocess QEMU" patch sent in December which, runs an Avocado
functional test to check if a remote lsi53c895a device gets identified
by the guest:
https://www.mail-archive.com/qemu-devel@nongnu.org/msg769188.html

First, we introduce the `exec_command` to the avocado_qemu package,
which sends a command to a console without the need to wait for a
pattern as a result. This is useful when a test needs to execute a
command that does not produce an output, like, for example, a `mount`
command.

Then, the original test is refactored to simplify the code using the
new `exec_command` function, remove the unnecessary change to the
`wait_for_console_pattern` method and normalize the use of single
quotes.

Change from v2:
  - Add command type to the `exec_command` docstring
