[RFC PATCH] hw/riscv/virt: Add serial alias in DTB

[Vasilis Liaskovitis]

This patch adds an "aliases" node with a "serial0" entry for the
single UART in the riscv64 virt machine.

This was requested in Gitlab #2774. However, since the machine only
has one UART at the moment, it's not clear that this addition makes
sense.

create_fdt_uart() is called at machine-done time, so we should create the
/aliases node in create_fdt() in case we ever have other uses for it.

thanks for the review, I am sending a v2 with the changes.
