console: add /proc/consoles

It allows users to see what consoles are currently known to the system
and with what flags.

It is based on Werner's patch, the part about traversing fds was
removed, the code was moved to kernel/printk.c, where consoles are
handled and it makes more sense to me.

+2.0 /proc/consoles
+------------------
+Shows registered system console lines.
+
+To see which character device lines are currently used for the system console
+/dev/console, you may simply look into the file /proc/consoles:
+
+  > cat /proc/consoles
+  tty0                 -WU (ECp)       4:7
+  ttyS0                -W- (Ep)        4:64
+
+The columns are:
+
+  device               name of the device
+  operations           R = can do read operations
+                       W = can do write operations
+                       U = can do unblank
+  flags                E = it is enabled
+                       C = it is prefered console
+                       B = it is primary boot console
+                       p = it is used for printk buffer
+                       b = it is not a TTY but a Braille device
+                       a = it is safe to use when cpu is offline
+  major:minor          major and minor number of the device separated by a colon
