With a QEMU bug, it can happen that the QEMU process doesn't react to a
'quit' QMP command. If we got an exception during previous QMP
communication (e.g. iotests Timeout expiring), we could also be in an
inconsistent state where after sending 'quit' we immediately read an old
response and close the socket even though the 'quit' command wasn't
processed yet. Both cases would lead to a hanging test.
Fix this by waiting for the QEMU process to exit after sending 'quit'
with a timeout, and if it doesn't happen within three seconds, send
SIGKILL.
