bitbake: build: Ensure python stdout/stderr is logged correctly

Currently we see things like:

Log data follows:
| DEBUG: Executing python function do_pythontest_exit
| DEBUG: Python function do_pythontest_exit finished
| ERROR: 1
| This is python stdout

Whilst after the change we see things like:

Log data follows:
| DEBUG: Executing python function do_pythontest_exit
| This is python stdout
| DEBUG: Python function do_pythontest_exit finished
| ERROR: 1

since the output is now correctly mixed with the log messages. In some cases the logging
tests indicate the output is being lost entirely which is bad for debugging and makes
things rather confusing.
