[Bug 1567194] Re: Unable to switch to console/ttys from ubiquity

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

1) change initramfs plymouth init-premount hoook to parse /proc/cmdline
and pass --tty=/dev/tty$N where $N is vt.handoff=$N

2) change ubiquity to require getty.target, and be after getty.target,
and after getty at tty7.service, and conflict with getty at tty7.service

3) test images with above

4) change image build process to specify vt.handoff=7 on the cmdline &
profit.

I thought plymouthd used to parse vt.handoff in the past, no?
