bin/sh: make it possible to use as interactive init

If the /sbin/init binary is broken somehow, the way out is to set the
loader environment variable init_path to something else.  The most
natural choice would be either /bin/sh or /rescue/sh.  Unfortunately,
this does not work because the init process starts withoud stdin/out
descriptors.

Make it nicer to users by teaching /bin/sh startup code to open standard
descriptors on /dev/console if the shell is run as init.
