scripts/runfvp: check available terminal types

Browse Source 
Improve usability by detecting which terminal types are available on the
system.

Extend the terminal abstraction to support checking whether a terminal
can be executed, and add basic validation for all terminal types. Update
the documentation to reflect the new behavior.

`runfvp` will automatically start terminals connected to each of the serial ports that the machine specifies. This can be controlled by using the `--terminals` option, for example `--terminals=none` will mean no terminals are started, and `--terminals=tmux` will start the terminals in [`tmux`][tmux] sessions. Alternatively, passing `--console` will connect the serial port directly to the current session, without needing to open further windows.
The tool attempts to automatically select a suitable terminal type. To see which terminal type is selected by default in your environment, run `runfvp --help`.
`runfvp` determines availability by checking for required executables in your PATH as well as environment variables specific to each terminal type. If any of these checks fail, the corresponding terminal type is disabled.
The --help output also lists all currently available terminal types.
The default terminal can also be configured by writing a [INI-style][INI] configuration file to `~/.config/runfvp.conf`:
