MFC r260913,266895:
Add a new flag to /etc/ttys: onifconsole. This is equivalent to "on" if the device is an active kernel console and "off" otherwise. This is designed to allow serial-booting x86 systems to provide a login prompt on the serial line by default without providing one on all systems by default. Set this flag on x86 systems for ttyu0. Comments and suggestions by: grehan, dteske, jilles

+ On i386 and amd64 systems, the onifconsole flag is now set by default
+ in /etc/ttys for ttyu0. This causes ttyu0 to be automatically enabled

+ the previous behavior, set ttyu0 to "off" in /etc/ttys.
