OWNERS: switch 'matches' to 'matchers'

The original OWNERS template had a mistake which used 'matches' instead
of the field supported by the Gerrit plugin 'matchers'.  Update the
OWNERS file to have the correct field.

To Build

Note: In addition to a toolchain and autoconf tools, this requires autotools-archive to be installed.

To build this project, run the following shell commands:

./bootstrap.sh
./configure ${CONFIGURE_FLAGS}
make

To fully clean the repository, run:

./bootstrap.sh clean

To Run Server

Running the server requires a serial port (e.g. /dev/ttyS0):

touch obmc-console.conf
./obmc-console-server --config obmc-console.conf ttyS0

To Connect Client

To connect to the server, simply run the client:

./obmc-console-client

To disconnect the client, use the standard ~. combination.

Underlying design

This shows how the host UART connection is abstracted within the BMC as a Unix domain socket.

This supports multiple independent consoles. The socket-id is a unique portion for the unix domain socket created by the obmc-console-server instance. The server needs to know this because it needs to know what to name the pipe; the client needs to know it as it needs to form the abstract socket name to which to connect.
