[SLOF] [PATCH] board-qemu: Add a possibility to use hvterm input instead of USB keyboard

SLOF automatically switches to USB keyboard input when it detects that
a graphics card and USB keyboard are available. However, for debugging
VGA or USB related issues, or running QEMU with the "-nographic" parameter,
it's more convenient to continue using the hvterm as input.
This patch adds the possibility to continue using hvterm if the user
sets the "direct-serial?" NVRAM variable to true. "direct-serial?" is
currently unused for board-qemu -- it's only used on board-js2x so far
for switching the serial ports there, so using this variable for
selecting the serial input on board-qemu seems to be a good fit, too.

 Note: With the latest QEMU version from the master branch, it is
 possible to set NVRAM variables from the command line now, so this
 can now be configured like this:
  qemu-system-ppc64 .... -prom-env "direct-serial?=true"
