The default shell in FreeBSD is plain sh, which doesn't support the usage
of the '|&' operator:

./automation/scripts/console.exp |& sed 's/\r\+$//'
/tmp/scripts34c427adc6599db29cb91221a0939d85.sh: 16: Syntax error: "&" unexpected

Fix this by using a redirection of stderr into stdout, and then a pipe.

It's sad that this slipped in because the CirrusCI runs were reliably
broken by the libinotify issue.
