examples: add consolecallback example python script

A while back I wrote the attached code to demonstrate how to use
events and serial console to create a serial console that stays up
even when the VM is down.  It might need some work, as I am not
terribly strong with Python.

* examples/python/consolecallback.py: New file.
* examples/python/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Ship it.
