    libvirt: virtlogd: use virtlogd for char devices
    
    This change makes actual usage of the "logd" sub-element for char devices.
    The two REST APIs ``os-getConsoleOutput`` and ``os-getSerialConsole`` can
    now be satisfied at the same time. This is valid for any combination of:
    * char device element: "console", "serial"
    * char device type: "tcp", "pty"
    There is also no need to create multiple different device types anymore.
    If we have a tcp device, we don't need the pty device anymore. The logging
    will be done in the tcp device.
    
    Implements blueprint libvirt-virtlogd

Bug description:
  KVM takes everything from stdout and prints it to console.log. This
  does not appear to have a size limit, so if a user (mistakenly or
  otherwise) sends a lot of data to stdout, the console.log file can
  fill the entire disk of the compute node quite quickly.
