As Alice Frosi reported (PR #58), passing

-device sclpconsole,chardev=console

together with

-serial chardev:console

to qemu-system-s390x is not supported.

Following Andrew Lutomirski's suggestion, use the latter as the default for
configuring the serial console on all architectures but s390x, where we
override it in favor of sclpconsole.

I've been using this patch when recently testing BPF fixes for s390x.

Quick check against Fedora 35 VM image also confirms that console works:

@jsitnicki Just tested the patch, and it solved the problem for me too.
