services: agetty: 'term-console' succeeds by default.
Previously, on a typical setup without "console=ttyS0" or similar in 'kernel-arguments', the 'term-console' Shepherd service would always be marked as failing to start. This is undesirable because it raises a false alarm: the service is expected to do nothing in this case. This patch instead marks it as succeeding and logs a message explaining it's doing nothing. * gnu/services/base.scm (agetty-shepherd-service): In 'start' method, succeed when TTY is #f and print a message.
