python/machine: handle "fast" QEMU terminations

python/machine: handle "fast" QEMU terminations

In the case that the QEMU process actually launches -- but then dies so
quickly that we can't establish a QMP connection to it -- QEMUMachine
currently calls _post_shutdown() assuming that it never launched the VM
process.

This isn't true, though: it "merely" may have failed to establish a QMP
connection and the process is in the middle of its own exit path.

If we don't wait for the subprocess, the caller may get a bogus `None`
return for .exitcode(). This behavior was observed from
device-crash-test; after the switch to Async QMP, the timings were
changed such that it was now seemingly possible to witness the failure
of "vm.launch()" *prior* to the exitcode becoming available.

The semantic of the `_launched` property is changed in this
patch. Instead of representing the condition "launch() executed
successfully", it will now represent "has forked a child process
successfully". This way, wait() when called in the exit path won't
become a no-op.
