[OE-core] [PATCH RFC 1/2] sysvinit-inittab_2.88dsf.bb: Allow aliasing with SERIAL_CONSOLES_CHECK

[California Sullivan]

With some hardware the name of the device node and the name in
/proc/console differ. This causes SERIAL_CONSOLES_CHECK to not enable
working consoles in these cases. This patch changes SERIAL_CONSOLES_CHECK
to have an optional alias for the checked consoles. The new format is:

<device>:<alias to check(optional)>

Fixes [YOCTO #9440].
