oeqa/ssh: Avoid unicode decode exceptions

This code really needs to be rewritten to not split potential
multibyte characters, for now work around it to avoid exceptions like:

  File "/home/pokybuild/yocto-worker/qa-extras2/build/meta/lib/oeqa/core/target/ssh.py", line 211, in run
    data = reader.read(1024, 4096)
  File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/codecs.py", line 503, in read
    newchars, decodedbytes = self.decode(data, self.errors)
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0x92 in position 0: invalid start byte
