[PATCH] console: only bidirectional consoles allow RATP

If a request to switch to RATP mode is received in an input-only
console, ignore the request.

This actually also avoids segfaulting later on:

Hey Sascha,

Looks like I may actually need to update the options to allow setting up bidirectional consoles, instead of separate input/output ones. Otherwise I won't be able to use RATP over the FIFO-based console. This patch fixes a segfault happening in barebox sandbox when the input-only console receives a request to switch to RATP mode, it ends up crashing afterwards when the SYN/ACK response is to be sent via the non-existent output path.

Cheers!
