virtio: console: Register with sysfs and create a 'name' attribute for ports

The host can set a name for ports so that they're easily discoverable
instead of going by the /dev/vportNpn naming. This attribute will be
placed in /sys/class/virtio-ports/vportNpn/name. udev scripts can then
create symlinks to the port using the name.
