Using a pexpect.spawn object simplifies the LogcatMonitor by removing the need for a separate thread along with the synchronization that brings. Since pexpect.spawn creates a logfile that is flushed with each write, it also removes the need for code to handle flushing. I originally wrote this to allow more complex features that are made possible by the pexpect API, however I then discovered those features are not necessary and did not submit this for merging. However I then discovered that in Python 2.7, threading.Event.wait (used in the `wait_for` method) makes the task uninterriptible (i.e. can't be killed with Ctrl+C/SIGINT), which is rather frustrating. This issue doesn't arise when using pexpect's expect method, so that's why I'm submitting this now.
