ttys: Add 'ifexists' option to enable ttys only if exists
Implement the 'ifexists' ttys option in init(8) to enable a tty only if
it exists. This allows one to turn off getty for ttys that aren't
present (e.g., on a headless system), and thus prevent getty error logs
from filling up /var/log/messages; e.g.,
------
Sep 20 09:13:07 microserver getty[236362]: open /dev/ttyv0: No such file or directory
Sep 20 09:13:07 microserver getty[236404]: open /dev/ttyv0: No such file or directory
Sep 20 09:13:07 microserver getty[236405]: open /dev/ttyv0: No such file or directory
Sep 20 09:13:07 microserver getty[236406]: open /dev/ttyv0: No such file or directory
Sep 20 09:13:07 microserver getty[236407]: open /dev/ttyv0: No such file or directory
Sep 20 09:13:07 microserver init: getty repeating too quickly on port /dev/ttyv0, sleeping 30 secs
------
Update the ttys(5) and getttyent(3) man pages accordingly.
The updates to ttys files will follow.
