/dev/console switching : fix: term doesn't copy arg for output device.

[David Walter]

fix: term doesn't copy arg for output device.

the following works for me given the changes below

    fsysopts /dev/console /dev/vcs/10/console

-- Where I have been dumping syslog output. --

Now console messages show up 'rightly' :)

Question: I don't see a join in the (*bottom->finis)() calls. Is there
some magic that  I don't know  about in term  or the libraries that is
managing  the threads, or  should the  threads be saved  and joined on
finis' calls?

        * main.c (parse_opt): copy arg to tty_arg for switching console
        output to new arg.
