    kernel - Fix live lock in vfs_conf.c mountroot>
    
    * The mountroot> prompt calls cngetc() to process user input.  However, this
      function hard loops and can prevent other kernel threads from running on
      the current cpu.
    
    * Rearrange the code to use cncheckc() and a 1/25 second tsleep().
    
    * Fix a bug in the syscons code where NOKEY was not being properly returned
      as documented.  Modify all use cases to handle NOKEY.  This allows us to
      differentiate between a keyboard present but not key pressed and a keyboard
      not present.
    
    * Pull the automatic polling mode code out of cncheckc() (or more precisely,
      out of sccncheckc()) and add a new cnpoll() API function to set it manually.
    
      This fixes issues in vfs_conf when normal keyboard processing interrupts
      are operational and cncheckc() is used with a tsleep() delay.  The normal
      processing interrupt wound up eating the keystrokes so the cncheckc()
      basically always failed.
    
      cncheckc() in general also always had a small window of opportunity where
      a keystroke could be lost due loops on it.
    
    * Call cnpoll() in various places, such as when entering the debugger,
      asking for input in vfs_conf, and a few other places.
