printk: introduce printk_get_next_message() and printk_message

Code for performing the console output is intermixed with code that
is formatting the output for that console. Introduce a new helper
function printk_get_next_message() to handle the reading and
formatting of the printk text. The helper does not require any
locking so that in the future it can be used for other printing
contexts as well.

This also introduces a new struct printk_message to wrap the struct
printk_buffers, adding metadata about its contents. This allows
users of printk_get_next_message() to receive all relevant
information about the message that was read and formatted.

Why is struct printk_message a wrapper struct?

It is intentional that a wrapper struct is introduced instead of
adding the metadata directly to struct printk_buffers. The upcoming
atomic consoles support multiple printing contexts per CPU. This
means that while a CPU is formatting a message, it can be
interrupted and the interrupting context may also format a (possibly
different) message. Since the printk buffers are rather large,
there will only be one struct printk_buffers per CPU and it must be
shared by the possible contexts of that CPU.

If the metadata was part of struct printk_buffers, interrupting
contexts would clobber the metadata being prepared by the
interrupted context. This could be handled by robustifying the
message formatting functions to cope with metadata unexpectedly
changing. However, this would require significant amounts of extra
data copying, also adding significant complexity to the code.

Instead, the metadata can live on the stack of the formatting
context and the message formatting functions do not need to be
concerned about the metadata changing underneath them.

Note that the message formatting functions can handle unexpected
text buffer changes. So it is perfectly OK if a shared text buffer
is clobbered by an interrupting context. The atomic console
implementation will recognize the interruption and avoid printing
the (probably garbage) text buffer.
