The DT spec describes the stdout-path property in the /chosen node to contain the DT path for a default device usable for outputting characters. The Linux kernel uses this for earlycon (without further parameters), other DT users might rely on this as well. Add a property containing the path to our emulated 8250 serial device. Even when we use the virtio console, the serial console is still there and works, so we can expose this unconditionally. Putting the virtio console path in there will not work anyway.
