virtio-serial: enable virtio console emergency write feature
Add support for enabling the virtio 1.0 "emergency write"
(VIRTIO_CONSOLE_F_EMERG_WRITE) feature. The previous patch introduced
the plumbing required for this; now we expose the virtio feature to
the guest. The feature is disabled for compatibility machines to avoid
exposing a new feature to existing guests.
As required by the virtio 1.0 spec, the emergency write functionality
is available to the guest even if the guest doesn't negotatiate the
feature, as well as before feature negotation.
