nixos/lib/test-driver: reduce spam at boot hangs

Since 008f9f0cd4
 ("nixos/test-driver: actually use the backdoor message to wait for backdoor"),

when boot is still computering, we can get a tons of empty strings in response to the shell.

This is not really useful to print and waste the disk space for any CI system that logs them.

We stop logging chunks whenever they are empty.
