Log Message:
Revise console device handling:
* do not require a `zs' driver for console handling
* run the console on PROM primitives until a device recognises
itself as a console device during normal autoconfiguration.
* allow (keyboard) devices to take over the input channel of
the PROM primitive-based console device.
As a result, consinit() is much simplified and does no longer have
to "detect" devices to setup a working console device. This complexity
has moved to individual drivers which interpret the PROM information
after they have attached to decide whether or not to act as a console.
