setconsole: much better help text

Browse Source 
Was:

    Usage: setconsole [-r] [DEVICE]

    Redirect system console output to DEVICE (default: /dev/tty)

        -r	Reset output to /dev/console

Now:

    Usage: setconsole [-r] [DEVICE]

    Make writes to /dev/console appear on DEVICE (default: /dev/tty).
    Does not redirect kernel log output or reads from /dev/console.

        -r	Reset: writes to /dev/console go to kernel log tty(s)
