fix: read a command to its exit status, not to the first line that looks like a prompt

_send waited for any output ending in "#", "$" or ">". netmiko matches that
against everything read so far, so a chunk that happened to end in such a
line ended the read while the command still ran. apt's bad-signature line,
"... <ftpmaster@ubuntu.com>", did exactly that: refresh_available_updates
returned half its output, and the rest -- exit status and prompt included --
arrived as the next command's output, so the update read after it failed
with "no exit status" (netOrk #615, seen on nine hosts on 2026-10-06).

A command that ends in "echo __NAME=$?" (__NETORK_RC=, and device-types'
__APT_RC= and __SVC_RC=) is now read until that marker, with a number, and
the prompt line after it. The echoed command line carries a literal $? and
cannot match. Every other command keeps the prompt pattern.

 For full functionality it is recommended to run as `root` or grant passwordless `sudo` for
 the above commands.
 
+`get_services()` and `manage_service()` come from napalm-device-types'
+`SystemdServicesMixin`; this driver supplies only the transport. An action runs as
+`timeout 45 systemctl --no-ask-password <action> -- <unit>.service`, so a unit that hangs
+on its way up or down cannot hold the session, and only the exit status decides whether it
+succeeded. Without a sudo password it uses `sudo -n`, which fails at once instead of
+waiting for a password prompt.
+
+On OpenMediaVault (napalm-openmediavault inherits this driver), enabling or disabling a
+unit that OMV manages itself — Samba, NFS, SSH — may be reverted the next time OMV applies
+its configuration.

+        The exit status decides whenever there is one (netork#267): it is the
+        answer the package manager actually gives, where the output is prose
+        that every tool phrases differently. A prerm printing "Failed to stop
+        …" while the removal completes is a success; a non-zero exit with
+        nothing alarming in the output is not.
+
+        Only when the status is unknown (``rc is None``) is the output read,
+        as the best answer left. apt prefixes its own errors with ``E: `` at
+        the start of a line, and the commonest of them — ``E: Sub-process
+        /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)`` — contains neither "error:"
+        nor "failed". The keyword list alone therefore read a failed removal
+        as a success, which is the worst direction for this particular answer
+        to be wrong in.
