    services: Add 'virtual-terminal'.
    
    Fixes <https://bugs.gnu.org/30505>.
    Suggested by Danny Milosavljevic <address@hidden>.
    
    * gnu/services/base.scm (unicode-start): Remove.
    (virtual-terminal-service-type): New variable.
    (console-font-shepherd-services): Remove 'modules'; remove call to
    'unicode-start'.  Add 'virtual-terminal' to 'requirement'.
    (mingetty-shepherd-service, kmscon-service-type): Likewise.
    (%base-services): Add 'virtual-terminal-service-type'.
    * gnu/system/install.scm (%installation-services): Likewise.
