implement handling of serial consoles for autoterminal

serial consoles have separate systemd services (serial-getty@.service). We need to adapt
the handling and also need some different options for them than for regular gettys.

To allow sysrescue-initialize.py to differentiate between regular consoles and serial ones
they must be configured with the prefix "serial:" in the yaml, for example like this:

autoterminal:
    "serial:ttyS0": "/usr/bin/bash"
