s6: USER variable replaced with ARGS for agetty-*.conf files

If you happened to use the USER variable for autologging into agetty, this variable has been removed and replaced with ARGS in the upcoming s6-scripts update. Any arbitrary argument can be passed instead. In the new *.conf file instead of:
USER="username"
it becomes:
ARGS="-a username"

Currently s6-scripts is in testing, but it will make its way to stable soon.
