[PATCH v1 09/14] tests/vm: add --boot-console switch

[Robert Foley <robert.foley@linaro.org>]

Added ability to view console during boot via
--boot-console switch to basevm.py.  This helps debug issues that occur
during the boot sequence.
Also added a new special variable to vm-build:
BOOT_CONSOLE=1 will cause this new --boot-console switch to be set.
