[PATCH 0/7] tests/acceptance: Introducing the ConsoleMixIn

[Wainer dos Santos Moschetta]

The avocado_qemu package provides the following methods to interact with the
guest via console, which are mainly used on the acceptance boot tests:

 exec_command(), exec_command_and_wait_for_pattern(), 
wait_for_console_pattern(),
 interrupt_interactive_console_until_pattern()

Those methods are loosely defined in avocado_qemu/__init__.py. Because that 
file is expected to
grow, I thought that for the sake of keeping it organized it would be better to 
logically group
them. So in this series I create the ConsoleMixIn class to be the new home for 
the console
methods. An alternative approach could be to create a separated package, 
however because
they are just a few methods at the moment, I prefered not to break avocado_qemu 
into smaller pieces.

As the "MixIn" in the name implies, the class is meant to be used as a mixin on 
the test class. Here
I am following an idea introduced by Cleber in [1].

This series was tested on CI 
(https://gitlab.com/wainersm/qemu/-/pipelines/296412039)
