Improve the remote shell's performance by switching to a virtio channel
Currently the serial link-based transfer of data between host and guest
is so slow (400 Kbaud) that I think we’ve consciously avoided adding
some useful features that depend on fast file IO, e.g. dumping the
output of tails-debugging-info as a scenario failure artifact. Also,
the data transfer delay of the thousands of remote shell calls we do
each full test suite run add up, so I expect that run time will decrease
measurably.
