Fixes #4314
The test that checks for spurious output when executing a normal command
on a computer over the transport had a bug in it that went unnoticed
because the code path was not tested. If the
stderr
of the commandcontained any output the command would raise because the test that is
called
_computer_test_no_unexpected_output
would incorrectly return atuple of length one instead of two in that case.
In addition to adding tests to hit this code path, the message that is
printed in the case of non-empty stdout or stderr is deduplicated and
adapted to be bit clearer and refer directly to the documentation
instead of through a Github issue.
