dev: read /dev/zero and /dev/urandom from them, not from the keyboard

consoleinit() put consoleread/consolewrite in devsw[1], over memread and
memwrite. Major 1 holds the whole mem major (null, zero, full, random,
urandom) and memread already sends the console's minors to the console,
so the override only broke the others: a read of /dev/zero waited for a
typed line. dd and head on either device hung, and `head -c 10 /dev/zero`
only finished because it swallowed the next command.

The console now installs just its open and close hooks. /dev/keyboard
writes are discarded, as consolewrite used to do.
