the correct approach is to check whether the end of
fd2path is /dev/cons. the qid check is an older approach
that was used before fd2path.
i'm hesitant to put it in a library because most programs
(e.g., ls) should not behave differently when running on
a console. if it's there, it may be overused like in unix.
but i'd gladly apply a patch fixing telnet, rc, upas,
and libstdio.
