Disable Weston DRM backend in QEMU
Since the Weston DRM backend does not work with the video card implementations in VirtualBox and VMWare player, and has some outstanding issues on QEMU that have resulted in GenIVI not enabling it[1], disable it for now. A comment has been added to the QEMU weston.ini indicating that the DRM backend can be re-enabled to potentially gain higher performance. Additionally, the common weston.service systemd unit has been modified to add the --tty option to weston-launch to start weston on /dev/tty1. This is now required to avoid console messages writing on top of the HomeScreen in QEMU, and is harmless to operation on the other platforms.
