Change baudrate dynamically through dbus

Create a dbus interface so that user can change baudrate dynamically.
With this feature, SOL can still work correctly when BIOS switch uart
from high speed uart to normal uart.

Tested By:
Run busctl introspect xyz.openbmc_project.console /xyz/openbmc_project/console
the property baudrate show the current baudrate.
Run busctl call xyz.openbmc_project.console /xyz/openbmc_project/console
xyz.openbmc_project.console setBaudRate x 9600
The property baudrate show 9600 now. After change BIOS console redirection
to 9600 baudrate and change putty client also to 9600. SOL and serial port can
work correctly.

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.
