André Draszik 2e608fd1b7 sysvinit-inittab: support non-busybox-getty on serial consoles
Busybox' getty has code to try to make itself a session leader,
whereas util-linux' agetty doesn't. It expects this to happen
from outside.
When getty is not a session leader, many things don't work on
the serial console, e.g. setting the terminal process group,
job control doesn't work, etc.

Executing image tests also fails with AssertionErrors, because
    Feb  5 16:12:55 qemuarm getty[590]: /dev/ttyAMA1: cannot get controlling tty: Operation not permitted
    Feb  5 16:12:55 qemuarm getty[590]: /dev/ttyAMA1: cannot set process group: Inappropriate ioctl for device

Update the start_getty script to invoke getty via the setsid
utility if needed, i.e. if /sbin/getty is not busybox getty.

QEMU Emulation Targets
======================

To simplify development, the build system supports building images to
work with the QEMU emulator in system emulation mode. Several architectures
are currently supported in 32 and 64 bit variants:

  * ARM (qemuarm + qemuarm64)
  * x86 (qemux86 + qemux86-64)
  * PowerPC (qemuppc only)
  * MIPS (qemumips + qemumips64)

Use of the QEMU images is covered in the Yocto Project Reference Manual.
The appropriate MACHINE variable value corresponding to the target is given
in brackets.
