image-tools: T6176: fixes for boot console

[jestabro]

Change Summary

Several fixes for image-tools boot console:
(1) drop ttyUSB as unuseful, as discussed
(2) add a minor utility to set boot console: this solves a chicken-egg issue if upgrading, in compatibility mode, from an image before the fix in https://vyos.dev/T6168
(3) attempt to provide console-type prompt hint during 'install image'
