Sebastien Boeuf 8c02648ac9 vmm: device_manager: Update virtio-console for proper PTY support
Given the virtio-console is now able to buffer its output when no PTY is
connected on the other end, the device manager code is updated to enable
this. Moving the endpoint type from FilePair to PtyPair enables the
proper codepath in the virtio-console implementation, as well as
updating the PTY resize code, and forcing the PTY to always be
non-blocking.

The non-blocking behavior is required to avoid blocking the guest that
would be waiting on the virtio-console driver. When receiving an
EWOULDBLOCK error, the output will simply be redirected to the temporary
buffer so that it can be later flushed.

The PTY resize logic has been slightly modified to ensure the PTY file
descriptors are closed. It avoids the child process to keep a hold onto
the PTY device, which would have caused the PTY to believe something is
connected on the other end, which would have prevented the detection of
any new connection on the PTY.

Fixes #4521
