Enable root login on serial port

The images that have been made available so far don't allow root logins on the serial port which is probably (hopefully) an oversight. As I tend to use centralized auth for systems, being able to login at console as root is handy in emergencies when the network might not be available.

If you want to do the same thing, stick ttyAML0 at the end of /etc/securetty and set a password for the root user.

Please consider making this change for future official images. Thanks!
