The goal of this change is to delay getty services until after
systemd-vconsole-setup has finished. systemd-vconsole-setup starts loadkeys,
and it seems that when loadkeys is interrupted by the TTY hangup call we do
when starting tty services [1], so that loadkeys starts getting EIO from the
ioctl("/dev/tty1", KDSKBENT) syscall it does.
Fixes #26908.

Initially I wanted to add ordering dependencies to individual units, but
TTYVHangup= can be added to other various external units too. The solution with
an implicit dependency should cover those cases too.
