Add module to use kmscon instead of linux-console for VTs

This required some changes to systemd unit handling: * Add an option to specify that a unit is just a symlink * Allow specified units to overwrite systemd-provided ones * Have gettys.target require autovt@1.service instead of getty@1.service Signed-off-by: Shea Levy <shea@shealevy.com>
