[PATCH 8.2 bugfix] vl: disable default serial when xen-console is enabled

From: David Woodhouse <dwmw@amazon.co.uk>

If a Xen console is configured on the command line, do not add a default
serial port.

Fixes: 1bec1cc0da4 ("ui/console: allow to override the default VC")

(Bonus points for adding a Xen console by default for Xen guests
instead of a serial port, but I'll look at that for 8.3.)

Without this, the example command lines in the documentation at
https://qemu-project.gitlab.io/qemu/system/i386/xen.html fail:

 $ ./qemu-system-x86_64 --accel kvm,xen-version=0x40011,kernel-irqchip=split \
    -display none -chardev stdio,mux=on,id=char0,signal=off -mon char0 \
    -device xen-console,chardev=char0  -drive file=${GUEST_IMAGE},if=xen
qemu-system-x86_64: cannot use stdio by multiple character devices
qemu-system-x86_64: could not connect serial device to character backend 'stdio'

Maybe that Fixes: tag is a little harsh; I think the two pull requests
were outstanding at the same time... but mine was pulled first :)
