CI: icmd is not usable to test when binary expect a console #3883

Description

icmd passes an io.Multiwriter for stdout and stderr of the underlying command.

So (even if stdout is a proper pty), the command will still bail out if it requires a console (because "inappropriate ioctl for device").

That, along with the gymnastic in containerd/console - took me half a day to figure out why the eff I would not get anything on out with attach tests.

I am not sure we should continue using icmd.
The added value of it is rather limited (literally a few dozens lines of code that we are still using) , and I am not particularly interested in going over there to hack on it.

I will bypass it so that we can get #3591 in either way, so, might be time to bite the bullet and ditch it.
