The console boot argument structure has been updated since OpenBSD 7.3.

This patch updates the “grub_openbsd_bootarg_console” and leaves the old structure as “grub_openbsd_bootarg_console_legacy”.
My patch checks the version number string of the loading kernel. If it is prior to 7.3, it replaces the “grub_openbsd_bootarg_console” structure data with the “grub_openbsd_bootarg_console_legacy” structure data.
If the loading kernel is stripped, Grub2 won’t know which structure should be used. So users can specify the legacy console structure by adding the “- l” option with the “kopenbsd” command.
