serial: T8375: add CLI option to explicitly set kernel console

Previously, VyOS hardcoded the kernel boot log console to either ttyS0 or
tty0, with no post-install CLI method to change it (manual GRUB edits
were required).

This commit adds a new CLI node:
  system console device <name> kernel

When set, the selected serial console is used as the kernel boot console.
When removed, the kernel boot console falls back to tty0.
