Subject: [PATCH] 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.
