xen/console: Introduce a new console driver for Xen guest

The current Xen console driver is crashing very quickly when using it on
an ARM guest. This is because the console lock is recursive and it may
lead to recursion on the tty lock and/or corrupt the ring pointer.

Furthermore, the console lock is not always taken where it should be and has
to be released too early because of the way the console has been designed.

Over the years, code has been modified to support various new features but
the driver has not been reworked.

This new driver has been rewritten with the idea of only having a small set
of specific function to write either via the shared ring or the hypercall
interface.

Note that HVM support has been left aside for now because it requires
additional features which are not yet supported. A follow-up patch will be
sent with HVM guest support.

List of items that may be good to have but not mandatory:
 - Avoid to flush for each character written when using the tty
 - Support multiple consoles
