Hello,

The first patch is a proposal to fix a long-standing issue when
capturing the console output. In some cases, the expected string does
not match in the output, causing the test to fail with a timeout. The
change introduces a _console_read() routine that processes the console
output character by character as a possible fix.

Last patches complete the conversion of the Aspeed tests and remove
the console workarounds.

Thanks,

C.

Changes in v2:

 - Redirected all console output in console.log file
 - Added a "found" prefix when an expected string is captured
 - Used a user mode network backend in SDK tests
 - Changed the expected string to "login:" in buildroot tests
