Log:
  emulators/xen-kernel: improve package message
  
  Use onifconsole for the Xen console, so that when booting bare metal
  there are no annoying messages about a console being off. Also note
  the usage of vm.max_user_wired instead of vm.max_wired on FreeBSD >
  13. Finally expand a little bit on how to get a working serial and VGA
  consoles simultaneously.
