[PATCH v2 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 multiproce=
ss
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 sen=
ds 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.
