Implement write_async_safe for mi_console_file (PR 22299)

Enabling "set debug lin-lwp 1" with the MI interpreter doesn't work.
When the sigchld_handler function wants to print a debug output
("sigchld\n"), it uses ui_file_write_async_safe.  This ends up in the
default implementation of ui_file::write_async_safe, which aborts GDB.

This patch implements the write_async_safe method for mi_console_file.
The "normal" MI output is line buffered, which means the output
accumulates in m_buffer until a \n is written, at which point it's
flushed in m_raw.  The implementation of write_async_safe provided by
this patch bypasses this buffer and writes directly to m_raw.  There are
two reasons for this:

(1) Appending to m_buffer (therefore to an std::string) is probably not
    async-safe, as it may allocate memory.
(2) We may have a partial output already in m_buffer, so that would lead
    to some nested MI output, not so great.

There is probably still a chance to have bad MI output, if
sigchld_handler is invoked in the middle of mi_console_file's flush, and
the line being flushed is only partially sent to m_raw.  The solution
would probably be to block signals during flushing.  Since this is only
used for debug output, I don't know if it's worth the effort to do that.

To implement write_async_safe, I needed to use the fputstrn_unfiltered,
which does the necessary escaping (e.g. replace \n with \\n).  I started
by adding printchar's callback parameters to fputstrn_unfiltered, to be
able to pass async-safe versions of them.  It's not easy to provide an
async-safe version of do_fprintf, but it turns out that we can easily
replace printchar's callbacks with a single do_fputc quite easily.  The
async-safe version of do_fputc simply calls the underlying ui_file's
write_async_safe method.

gdb/ChangeLog:
