Keep the QEMU serial log in qemu-test, not the FHS boot volume

Browse Source 
The serial capture is a dev/host artifact, so it lands in the qemu-test scratch
area rather than inside zig-out (which we mount as the boot volume). /var/log/system
stays reserved for the kernel's own logging system later.
