services: Add 'virtual-terminal'.
Fixes <https://bugs.gnu.org/30505>. Suggested by Danny Milosavljevic <dannym@scratchpost.org>. * gnu/services/base.scm (unicode-start): Remove. (virtual-terminal-service-type): New variable. (console-font-shepherd-services): Remove 'modules'; remove call to 'unicode-start'. Add 'virtual-terminal' to 'requirement'. (mingetty-shepherd-service, kmscon-service-type): Likewise. (%base-services): Add 'virtual-terminal-service-type'. * gnu/system/install.scm (%installation-services): Likewise.
