sysvinit-inittab: support non-busybox-getty on serial consoles
Busybox' getty has code to try to make itself a session leader, whereas util-linux' agetty doesn't. It expects this to happen from outside. When getty is not a session leader, many things don't work on the serial console, e.g. setting the terminal process group, job control doesn't work, etc. Executing image tests also fails with AssertionErrors, because Feb 5 16:12:55 qemuarm getty[590]: /dev/ttyAMA1: cannot get controlling tty: Operation not permitted Feb 5 16:12:55 qemuarm getty[590]: /dev/ttyAMA1: cannot set process group: Inappropriate ioctl for device Update the start_getty script to invoke getty via the setsid utility if needed, i.e. if /sbin/getty is not busybox getty.
