The sclp console in the s390 bios writes raw data,
leading console emulators (such as virsh console) to
treat a new line ('\n') as just a new line instead
of as a Unix line feed. Because of this, output
appears in a "stair case" pattern.
Let's print \r\n on every occurrence of a new line
in the string passed to write to amend this issue.
This is in sync with the guest Linux code in
drivers/s390/char/sclp_vt220.c which also does a line feed
conversion in the console part of the driver.
This fixes the s390-ccw and s390-netboot output like
$ virsh start test --console
