services: agetty: Add agetty instance to base services. Make its tty optional.
* gnu/services/base.scm (%base-services): Instantiate agetty-service. (default-serial-port): New variable. (agetty-shepherd-service): Make tty optional, default to the above. * doc/guix.texi (agetty-configuration): Update "tty" documentation. * gnu/system/install.scm (agetty-default-service): Delete variable. (embedded-installation-os): Remove agetty-default-service instance. Add "console" kernel-argument.

+@code{"ttyS0"}. This argument is optional, it will default to
+a reasonable default serial port used by the kernel Linux.
+
+For this, if there is a value for an option @code{agetty.tty} in the kernel
+command line, agetty will extract the device name of the serial port
+from it and use that.

+If not and if there is a value for an option @code{console} with a tty in
+the Linux command line, agetty will extract the device name of the
+serial port from it and use that.
+
+In both cases, agetty will leave the other serial device settings
+(baud rate etc.) alone---in the hope that Linux pinned them to the
+correct values.
