Description

We were bothered by this for a long time and it's still present: Hyper-V 2012 R2 serial console leaks data, usually it's the 16th character on a line.

In https://openqa.suse.de/tests/2030033#step/rsync/17 openQA expected SCRIPT_FINISHEDEcM1i but got SCRIPT_FINISHEDcM1i, note the missing E, a 16th character. This is a Hyper-V product issue and I don't know what we can do about it apart from trimming our magic strings to be shorter than 16 characters. I did this when Hyper-V 2012 R2 was our primary platform, but it is not anymore and Hyper-V 2016 has it fixed. This should not affect openQA groups outside of "Virtualisation".

This ticket mostly serves as a "wailing wall" for the purpose of openQA reviews and I expect it to be kept for the time we support Hyper-V 2012 R2.
