lib.sh: Workaround sof-test output alignment issue

If sof-test test case is run manually and locally, the output of sof-test is messy, the lines are not aligned left at the beginning of each line, some lines start in the middle of a line, which makes the output log hard to follow. This patch helps to workaround the above issue. Link: thesofproject#1151 Signed-off-by: Chao Song <[email protected]>
