Disable Pi Serial Console

Simple script to easily enable & disable the Raspberry Pi's serial console. Disabling the serial console is required if you want to use the Raspberry Pi's serial port (UART) to talk to other devices e.g. microcontrollers (see <http://elinux.org/RPi_Serial_Connection> for more information).
