[PATCH app/xconsole] Open /dev/console with NOCTTY and O_NONBLOCK flags

[Arvind Umrao]

In some cases, for SPARC servers, special files like fifo need to open in nonblocking mode otherwise whole xconsole GUI freezes. Also /dev/console is often a terminal device.  So I am opening /dev/console with NOCTTY and O_NONBLOCK flags.
