[kvm-unit-tests PATCH v4 3/8] migration: use a more robust way to wait for background job

Starting a pipeline of jobs in the background does not seem to have
a simple way to reliably find the pid of a particular process in the
pipeline (because not all processes are started when the shell
continues to execute).

The way PID of QEMU is derived can result in a failure waiting on a
PID that is not running. This is easier to hit with subsequent
multiple-migration support. Changing this to use $! by swapping the
pipeline for a fifo is more robust.
