articles: arch-installation: Remove serial support
The Linux kernel uses the last `console=` kernel command line parameter as the "primary console". Only on that one the LUKS unlock prompt is displayed. Thus at the moment only one of the two consoles (serial / graphical) can be fully supported. Graphical is chosen since it is the more "default" option which should work everywhere. Full dual-support is appreciated and might be possible to implement in the future.
