On a machine without a VGA console, /dev/tty{0,1,…} exist, so
systemd-vconsole-setup is started, but all setfont operations fail.
setfont has a bunch of return codes for different failure modes. It uses
EX_OSERR when the communication with the kernel using ioctls fails. This isn't
too specific, but at least it's only used this general class of errors. Let's
swallow the error in this case to avoid systemd-vconsole-setup.service failing
on cloud vms.
On a machine from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1272686#c4:
$ build/systemd-vconsole-setup
setfont: putfont: 512,8x16: failed: -1
putfont: PIO_FONT: Invalid argument
/usr/bin/setfont failed with error code 71.
Setting fonts failed with a "system error", ignoring.

$ lspci | grep -i vga
$ ls /dev/tty?
/dev/tty0 /dev/tty2 /dev/tty4 /dev/tty6 /dev/tty8
/dev/tty1 /dev/tty3 /dev/tty5 /dev/tty7 /dev/tty9
If we have a better test for /dev/tty? being connected to something that has a
font, we could avoid running setfont at all… ATM, I'm not aware of a simple
test like that.
