tests/functional: remove time.sleep usage from tuxrun tests
The tuxrun tests send a series of strings to the guest to login and then run commands. Since we have been unable to match on console output that isn't followed by a newline, the test used many time.sleep() statements to pretend to synchronize with the guest. This has proved to be unreliable for the aarch64be instance of the tuxrun tests, with the test often hanging. The hang is a very subtle timing problem, and it is suspected that some (otherwise apparently harmless) I/O error messages could be resulting in full FIFO buffers, stalling interaction with the guest. With the newly rewritten console interaction able to match strings that don't have a following newline, the tux run tests can now match directly on the login prompt, and/or shell PS1 prompt.
