if there is a console variable in the u-boot environment and not one on the append line from syslinux config add what is in the environment to the bootargs.
This is necessary to allow distros to have a single extlinux/extlinux.conf file which will work on multiple boards, even if these boards have different consoles (e.g. ttyS0 vs ttyAMA0).

I asked Dennis for its Signed-off-by for this, and instead I got this:
NAK, I was planning to drop the patch entirely, while its useful in some cases, it breaks things like plymouth working, as well it will force anaconda installs to always be text over the serial port. wandboard and cubox-i for instance boot happily without a console= line and you get plymouth on the screen when video is initialised. having it add the console line if u-boot has the console set to serial would be okay. I think it needs some more thought and careful planning.

So lets drop this one for now.
