SSH multi-line-parser fails on slow connections #78

This patch improves the SSH multi line splitter parser to take into some cases that were not covered as well as fix some of the tests. Code fixes: - On slow SSH connections we may not get the initial dump of stdin in the response, so looking for the "exit" command we sent will never find it and the parsing will fail. We now look for the prompt and ignore whether we have the stdin data or not, since it's not really relevant. - Sometimes we get empty prompts in the SSH response, which either break the current parsing or makes us return bad data. We now remove all empty prompts. Code improvements: - We were always removing the last 2 lines from the response without actually checking if these 2 lines are the exit command and an empty line. Now we search for the final exit command that we execute to determine the end of the valid output data. - If the output data has any "\r" at the end of a line the parser returns them, which we shouldn't. They should be removed just like we remove the "\r\n" when splitting the lines. Test fixes in HPE3ParClientMockSSHTestCase::test_strip_input_from_output: - In a couple of places tests are passing [cmd, X, Y] to the parser expecting a failure, which we get, and we think everything is working as expected, but the failure is not for the reasons we want, so we are not testing anything. By passing that data we are effectively passing [['foo', '-v'], X, Y] which will break the parser because that's "garbage". - The data passed and expected in the success case can be misleading, as it doesn't include the exit prompt and doesn't expect the footer to be returned, but the footer should be returned and parsing a command that doesn't have the last exit command is not valid. Closes hpe-storage#78

On slow SSH connections both parsers, default and multi-line, fail because the responses are somewhat different than what they expect:
Fixing the default parser would be more complicated, but the multi-line one should be able to support these cases.
