Fixed getty(8) to ignore the terminate signal the new shutdown(1) sends
to warn processes of shutdown.  Getty doesn't need to be warned, and this
should stop the extra login messages printed during shutdown.  Also added
several improvements which have been waiting for an opportunity to go in:

- Multiple speeds on a line.  The speed argument to getty can now be a
	comma-separated list of speeds (no spaces after the commas!).
- Hooks for hardware speed sensing (although our drivers don't support
	this just yet).
- Better error reporting.  Most errors now cause getty to display "!getty
	error!" to ps instead of making the system thrash.
- Various bits of internal cleanup.
