[OE-core] [PATCH 0/5] SERIAL_CONSOLES improvements

Having two variables to enable essentially the same behaviour isn't
really desirable, so fix up the handling of SERIAL_CONSOLES, set it
from SERIAL_CONSOLE by default if not set and change everwhere we read
SERIAL_CONSOLE to read from SERIAL_CONSOLES instead. This should allow
us to deprecate SERIAL_CONSOLE whilst retaining compatibility with
machine configurations that still use it. 

Note: I'm a bit concerned about the default setting of SERIAL_CONSOLE in
systemd-serialgetty; I'm not sure why this is needed given that this is
almost always going to be machine-specific. I've left it alone for the
time being however.


The following changes since commit e86538db13605953465aacc3f2fb7d719dad919e:

  neard: add systemd unit file (2013-04-29 15:31:39 +0100)
