David Gibson 6c3bc244d3 spapr: Implement bug in spapr-vty device to be compatible with PowerVM
The spapr-vty device implements the PAPR defined virtual console,
which is also implemented by IBM's proprietary PowerVM hypervisor.

PowerVM's implementation has a bug where it inserts an extra \0 after
every \r going to the guest.  Because of that Linux's guest side
driver has a workaround which strips \0 characters that appear
immediately after a \r.

That means that when running under qemu, sending a binary stream from
host to guest via spapr-vty which happens to include a \r\0 sequence
will get corrupted by that workaround.

To deal with that, this patch duplicates PowerVM's bug, inserting an
extra \0 after each \r.  Ugly, but the best option available.
