nspawn: add --console=autopipe mode

Browse Source 
By default we'll run a container in --console=interactive and
--console=read-only mode depending if we are invoked on a tty or not so
that the container always gets a /dev/console allocated, i.e is always
suitable to run a full init system /as those typically expect a
/dev/console to exist).

With the new --console=autopipe mode we do something similar, but
slightly different: when not invoked on a tty we'll use --console=pipe.
This means, if you invoke some tool in a container with this you'll get
full inetractivity if you invoke it on a tty but things will also be
very nicely pipeable. OTOH you cannot invoke a full init system like
this, because you might or might not become a /dev/console this way...

Prompted-by: #17070

(I named this "autopipe" rather than "auto" or so, since the default
mode probably should be named "auto" one day if we add a name for it,
and this is so similar to "auto" except that it uses pipes in the
non-tty case).

<option>pipe</option> mode no pseudo TTY is allocated, but the standard input, output and error
output file descriptors passed to <command>systemd-nspawn</command> are passed on — as they are — to
the container payload, see the following paragraph. Defaults to <option>interactive</option> if
