Switch default console tty from /dev/console to /dev/constty
With this switch processes (such as xconsole) can open /dev/console without breaking login on the text or serial console. This can be trivially triggered by enabling xdm in rc.conf and hitting Ctrl+Alt+F1 or equivalent once booted.
The changes: - Add entry for /dev/console or /dev/constty if missing - If a port's had /dev/console 'on' switch it off and enable /dev/constty - If a port did not have /dev/console 'on', leave /dev/constty off
Some ports had /dev/console off and /dev/ttyE0 enabled, presumably to avoid just this issue. It may make sense to adjust these also (but not in this pass)
