Iliyan Malchev 2c1417b43a Serial: add input path overriding stdin for --serial
Allowing the input to be specified for file-based serial ports allows
the user of pipes as input/output. That enables kgdb over serial.

TEST=
Build a kernel with support for gdb

```
make x86_64_defconfig
make kvmconfig
./scripts/config --enable GDB_SCRIPTS
./scripts/config --enable KGDB
./scripts/config --enable KGDB_SERIAL_CONSOLE
./scripts/config --enable KGDB_LOW_LEVEL_TRAP
./scripts/config --enable KGDB_KDB
./scripts/config --enable KDB_KEYBOARD
./scripts/config --enable GDB_SCRIPTS
./scripts/config --set-val KDB_CONTINUE_CATASTROPHIC 0
make -j33
```

Setup devices for PTYs

To make sure crosvm doesn't create an ordinary file if socat is started
after it, create these named pipes first:

```
mkfifo ~/console_{in,out} ~/kgdb_{in,out}
```

Set up two PTYs: ~/kgdb for the debugger, and ~/serial for the console.
PTY ~/kgdb connects to ~/kgdb{in,out}, and ~/serial connects to
~/console{in,out}

```
socat -d -d -d \
    'PIPE:$HOME/console_out,rdonly=1,nonblock=1,ignoreeof=1!!PIPE:$HOME/console_in,wronly=1' \
    PTY,link=$HOME/serial,ctty,raw,echo=0

socat -d -d -d \
    'PIPE:$HOME/kgdb_out,rdonly=1,nonblock=1,ignoreeof=1!!PIPE:$HOME/kgdb_in,wronly=1' \
    PTY,link=$HOME/kgdb,ctty,raw,echo=0
```

Start crosvm with serial ports pointed at ~/console{in,out} and ~/kgdb{in,out}.

```
cargo run run -p 'init=/bin/sh panic=0 kgdboc=ttyS1,115200 kgdbwait kgdbcon' \
    --serial type=file,path=$HOME/console_out,num=1,console=true,stdin=false,input=$HOME/console_in \
    --serial type=file,path=$HOME/kgdb_out,input=$HOME/kgdb_in,num=2,console=false,stdin=false \
    -r ~/rootfs.img \
    ~/src/linux/arch/x86/boot/bzImage
```

Start GDB

```
gdb vmlinux -ex "target remote /home/dgreid/kgdb"
```

To break into gdb, open up the serial console, mount /proc and send a SysRq

```
minicom -D ~/serial
mount -t proc none /proc
echo g > /proc/sysrq-trigger
```
