debug: workaround for sporadic failures of some tests due to unexpected data present in pexpect match
Problem was observed on UnavailableMultiTest - this test was sporadically failing.
When the failure was observed the log of the failing test looked as follows:
```
File "/whatever/RISCVTests/debug/testlib.py", line 504, in <genexpr>
if all(targets[hart.id]["State"] == "running" for hart in harts):
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^
KeyError: 'State'
```
Adding this modification to testlib.py
```

Allowed me to root cause the issue. Namely we have the following
situation:
```
parsed targets:
Exception ignored in: <function _TemporaryFileCloser.__del__ at 0x7f2dee64d1c0>
Traceback (most recent call last):

```
The only reasonable (to me) explanation for the observed behavior is below.
Here is how we connect to TCL-RPC server:
```
self.openocd_cli = pexpect.spawn(f"nc localhost {self.tclrpc_port}")
tty.setraw(self.openocd_cli.child_fd)
```
Later we request target list by issuing "targets" command:
```
self.command("targets")
```
Internally, pexpect.spawn implemented as follows:
- we fork the process
- set up pty and then call execve
- all these steps are written in python
"Exception ignored" messages are result of exceptions thrown from
finalizers of NamedTemporaryFile objects. When exception is thrown from
the finalizer - python unconditionally prints a "warning" to stderr. It
seems that these messages are polluting our output from "nc" since python
GC can be invoked before the execve syscall.
The workaround is just to make sure that execve was executed before we
rely on the format of command output. To have such a guarantee we just
issue a dummy "echo" command and check that we have a proper reply in the
output stream.
While this explanation looks convincing, the behavior above still looks
strange, given that we have https://bugs.python.org/issue14548 which
was resolved long ago.
However, the proposed workaround fixes the issue.
