ktest: Restore tty settings after closing console
When ktest runs the console program as a child process, the parent and child share the same tty for stdin and stderr. This is problematic when using a libvirt target. The "virsh console" program makes a lot of changes to the tty settings, making ktest's output hard to read (carriage returns don't work). After ktest exits, the terminal is unusable (CRs broken, stdin isn't echoed). I think the best way to fix this issue would be to create a pseudoterminal (pty pair) so the child process would have a dedicated tty, and then use pipes to connect the two ttys. I'm not sure if that's overkill, but it's far beyond my current Perl abilities. This patch is a much easier way to (partially) fix this issue. It saves the tty settings before opening the console and restores them after closing it. There are still a few places where ktest prints mangled output while the console is open, but the output is much more legible overall, and the terminal works just fine after ktest exits.
