[Skiboot] [PATCH] Set boot consoles to be used by the bootloader

If nothing is specified on the kernel command line the boot console will
only be displayed on hvc0 by default.
Specify both tty0 and hvc0 so that the boot console can also be seen on
the VGA device if it is available.

Technically this could also be done by patching it to be the default
in the kernel (ie. a patch in op-build) but this seems to be a cleaner
way of setting it for any bootloader we may have.
Tested on a Habanero and Tuleta machine, although I don't have a monitor
attached to any Tuletas at the moment.
