The infifo fifo that is used to send characters to QEMU console is
only able to receive one character before the cat process exits.
Supporting interactions between test and harness involving multiple
characters requires the fifo to remain open.
The infifo is removed by the exit handler like other files and fifos
so it does not have to be removed explicitly.
With this we can let the cat out of the subshell, simplifying the
input pipeline.
