agetty: add --{erase,kill}-chars options
We need way to disable the default kill and erase agetty chars to make
the getty usable for Active Directory users with '@' in username.
It seems that the most extendible solution is to add options that
allow to complete control additional erase/kill chars. If you specify
empty strings then the chars are disabled at all.
Note that this patch is backwardly compatible.
