bootloader: make serial console configurable

Browse source 
Currently, the serial console is hardcoded to ttyS0 in the bootloader
element.  This is a challenge for users that want to build images for
some baremetal servers. Supermicro servers, for example, use ttyS1 for
the serial over lan interface.

This patch adds a new environment variable DIB_BOOTLOADER_SERIAL_CONSOLE
that can be set to override the default.
