tty: Disable default console blanking interval

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/869017

Console blanking is not enabling DPMS power saving (thereby negating any
power-saving benefit), and is simply turning the screen content blank. This
means that any crash output is invisible which is unhelpful on a server
(virtual or otherwise).

Furthermore, CRT burn in concerns should no longer govern the default case.
Affected users could always set consoleblank on the kernel command line.
