QEMU's stdio chardev sets O_NONBLOCK on both stdin and stdout (see chardev/char-stdio.c [1] and chardev/char-fd.c [2]). Since forked processes share file descriptions, and on a terminal all three stdio fds typically reference the same file description, this affects our own stdio too. Avoid this by using a PTY with chardev serial instead of chardev stdio for native console mode, matching the approach already used for interactive and read-only modes. The PTY forwarder shovels bytes transparently between our stdio and QEMU's PTY using the new PTY_FORWARD_DUMB_TERMINAL and PTY_FORWARD_TRANSPARENT flags, which disable terminal decoration (background tinting, window title, OSC context) and escape sequence handling (Ctrl-] exit, hotkeys) respectively. The chardev is configured with mux=on so the QEMU monitor remains accessible via Ctrl-a c. Also dedup CONSOLE_NATIVE, CONSOLE_READ_ONLY, and CONSOLE_INTERACTIVE handling by using fallthrough, with the only differences being the ptyfwd flags, mux setting, and monitor section.
