[Buildroot] [PATCH] systemd: set vconsole support option to default y

This patch defaults the systemd vconsole support option to y. The reasoning is a matter of convention, Linux systems have vconsoles in almost all cases. Personally, I spent a few hours feeling I had broken something when I was switching to systemd. In an effort to prevent future buildroot users from suffering this fate, we are enabling this support by default, as it is far less likely to *not* want vterms, and if that is the use-case, it can be disabled as needed.
