Use an early-setup hook to force console init in release images

Setting rd.hostonly=0 in the release and recovery images causes dracut
to throw out the initqueue hooks that ZBM installs to force the event
loop to fire at least once. As a result, the console is often not
initialized before ZBM takes control. ZFSBootMenu early-setup hooks
provide a convenient place to force the console initialization, allowing
things like fonts and keymaps to be set before password prompts might
appear.
