Python libs: close console sockets before shutting down the VMs

Currently, the console socket on QEMUMachine is closed after the QMP
command to gracefully exit QEMU is executed.  Because of a possible
deadlock (QEMU waiting for the socket to become writable) let's close
the console socket earlier.
