Since commit 8eb13bbbac ("ui/gtk: vte: fix sending multiple
characeters") it's very easy to lock up QEMU with the GTK ui.
If you configure a guest with a serial device and the guest
doesn't listen on this device, QEMU will lock up after
entering two characters in the serial console. That's because
current code uses a busy loop for the chardev write retries
and the busy loop doesn't terminate in this case.
To fix this problem add a fifo to the VTE consoles and use the
chr_accept_input() callback function to write the remaining
characters in the queue to the chardev.
The fifo has a size of 4096 bytes, so one can copy and paste
a fairly large URL or file path.
