Update docs for serial console support

There are two changes here:

1. The serial_console config option group help text is
   updated to point out that hyper-v also supports serial
   console access. This is based on virt drivers that
   implement the 'get_serial_console' method.

2. The hypervisor feature matrix is updated to point out
   that the vmware driver does not support getting serial
   console output. This is based on virt drivers that
   implement the 'get_console_output' method.

Closes-Bug: #1632135
