system: op-mode: T3334: allow delayed getty restart when configuring serial ports

* Created op-mode command "restart serial console"
* Relocated service control to vyos.utils.serial helpers, used by conf- and
  op-mode serial console handling
  * Checking for logged-in serial sessions that may be affected by getty reconfig
  * Warning the user when changes are committed and serial sessions are active,
    otherwise restart services as normal. No prompts issued during commit,
    all config gen/commit steps still occur except for the service restarts
    (everything remains consistent)
  * To apply committed changes, user will need to run "restart serial console"
    to complete the process or reboot the whole router
  * Added additional flags and target filtering for generic use of helpers.
