  1. nixos/stage-1: Query primary console from kernel 

    Do this instead of parsing the kernel command line as the default
console might not be the virtual console, e.g. on platforms using Device
Tree can indicate a preferred serial console with the
/chosen/stdout-path property.

This matches what dracut and Debian's initramfs-tools is doing.

  2. nixos/stage-{1,2}: Log output to secondary consoles as well 

    Currently, if you pass multiple consoles to the kernel (e.g.
'console=ttyS0 console=tty0') you only get kernel's output to the
primary console (the one specified last) until the boot is finished
and a getty is launched on the secondary consoles.

Let's explicitly write all stage-1 and stage-2 output to the secondary
consoles just as we additionally write them to kmsg.
