Several users have reported to me that the network-console images are
broken.

Commit ec6d3c3d79 (Move screen support) moved the screen support
around and also changed the logic of when screen is used.
Unfortunately, that change broke all network-console images which now
lead to:

installer@192.168.0.102's password:
There is no screen to be resumed matching sh.
Connection to 192.168.0.102 closed.

This is because d-i is already running in screen on the serial console but
it's active and can't be resumed.

I believe below is the right fix, i.e. start screen when screen exists and
when we're on serial or when we're NOT on network.

Samuel, Roger, does that look correct?
