[PATCH 0/2] tests/acceptance: Use QEMUMachine on tests that expect failure

[Wainer dos Santos Moschetta]

The linux_initrd and empty_cpu_model tests assert that QEMU exit
with failure on certain scenarios. Currently they are not able
to use QEMUMachine object due to the QMP monitor connection which
is tentatively established always. Instead they handle the QEMU binary
directy, but ideally they should use QEMUMachine in order to:
 a) Take advantage of error handling and logging in QEMUMachine.
 b) Follow the pattern in other acceptance tests.

Notes worth it:
 - Patch 01 first appeared in [1]. Here I propose the same
   implementation but the code was rebased.
 - empty_cpu_model used to check both stdout and stderr of the process. The
   QEMUMachine doesn't provide an interface to access the underneath
   process object, instead the process' output is available through
   get_log(). This method in turn returns the content of stdout (stderr is
   redirected to stdout). Therefore, I adapted the assertion statement
   to check the '-cpu option cannot be empty' message shows in the output.
