[SLOF] [PATCH] slof/fs/accept: Allow Unix LF line endings, too

Currently SLOF only accepts CR (0x0d) line endings at the command prompt,
since this is the default line ending used on serial consoles. However,
sometimes people try to connect to SLOF directly in a way that uses the
typical Unix LF line endings (0x0a) which are then completely ignored,
for example running QEMU like this:

 qemu-system-ppc64 -nodefaults \
    -chardev socket,path=/tmp/mysocket,wait=off,id=cs0,server=on \
    -device spapr-vty,id=serial0,reg=0x30000000,chardev=cs0

and then connect to that Unix socket via "nc -U /tmp/mysocket".

For such use cases, allow the 0x0a line ending in SLOF, too.

 I'm not quite sure anymore ... didn't we already run into this problem
 a couple of times in the past already? Was there a reason that we never
 allowed 0x0a here, too?
