crash-handler: Call vhangup on /dev/console before spawning crash shell

When pid 1 crashes, the getty unit for the console will happily keep
running which means we end up with two shells competing for the same
tty. Let's call vhangup on /dev/console to kill every other process
attached to the console before we spawn the crash shell. The getty
units have Restart=always but lucky for us, pid 1 just crashed in fire
and flames so it isn't actually able to restart the getty unit.
