Switch default console tty from /dev/console to /dev/constty

With this switch processes (such as xconsole) can open /dev/console
without breaking login on the text or serial console. This can be
trivially triggered by enabling xdm in rc.conf and hitting
Ctrl+Alt+F1 or equivalent once booted.

The changes:
- Add entry for /dev/console or /dev/constty if missing
- If a port's had /dev/console 'on' switch it off and enable /dev/constty
- If a port did not have /dev/console 'on', leave /dev/constty off

Some ports had /dev/console off and /dev/ttyE0 enabled, presumably to
avoid just this issue. It may make sense to adjust these also (but not
in this pass)

Per discussion on tech-userlevel, finally fix PR 10127:
move all ttyE* entries that use "vt100" emulation to wsvt25 term type.
The terminfo vt220 entry lacked (correctly) a delete key entry, which
was a regression against the netbsd-5 termcap entry. On the other hand,
only a very small number of foreign systems lacks support for wsvt25
nowadays.

remove ad-hok list of pty's from port tty files, and auto-generate it so
that it is consistent, and in the proper order.

Revert 'console' back to /dev/console (from /dev/constty)

Change 'console' login to use /dev/constty so that its output isn't
stolen by code that requests system messages using TIOCCONS.

Added ttyp[g-zA-Z] (bin/15594).

This should be the final part of moving to 64 PTYs by default. Added
entries for tty{r,s}{0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,a,b,c,d,e,f} to /etc/ttys.

Thanks to Matthew Green for pointing out the need.
