[Toybox] [New toy] rudimentary getty

[Ashwini Sharma]

Hi,

What a coincidence, even I was about to send getty implementation in this
forum.

Attached is a little largeish version of getty.
Supporting TERM settings, baud rate setting, issue file, updating utmp
entries....

if this suits, can add to the tree.
Looking forward to your inputs.

regards,
Ashwini
