The console output driver framework in libpayload is currently built on
the putchar primitive, meaning that every driver's function gets called
one character at a time. This becomes an issue when we add drivers that
could output multiple characters at a time, but have a high constant
overhead per invocation (such as the planned GDB stub, which needs to
wrap a special frame around output strings and wait for an
acknowledgement from the server).
This patch adds a new 'write' function pointer to the
console_output_driver structure as an alternative to 'putchar'. Output
drivers need to provide at least one of the two ('write' is preferred if
available). The CBMEM console driver is ported as a proof of concept
(since it's our most performace-critical driver and should in theory
benefit the most from less function pointer invocations, although it's
probably still negligible compared to the big sprawling mess that is
printf()).
Even with this fix, the problem remains that printf() was written with
the putchar primitive in mind. Even though normal text already contains
an optimization to allow multiple characters at a time, almost all
formatting directives cause their output (including things like
padding whitespace) to be putchar()ed one character at a time.
Therefore, this patch reworks parts of the output code (especially
number printing) to all but remove that inefficiency (directives still
invoke an extra write() call, but at least not one per character). Since
I'm touching printf() core code anyway, I also tried to salvage what I
could from that weird, broken "return negative on error" code path (not
that any of our current output drivers can trigger it anyway).
A final consequence of this patch is that the responsibility to prepend
line feeds with carriage returns is moved into the output driver
implementations. Doing this only makes sense for drivers with explicit
cursor position control (i.e. serial or video), and things like the
CBMEM console that appears like a normal file to the system really have
no business containing carriage returns (we don't want people to
accidentally associate us with Windows, now, do we?).
BUG=chrome-os-partner:18390
TEST=Made sure video and CBMEM console still look good, tried printf()
with as many weird edge-case strings as I could find and compared serial
output as well as sprintf() return value.

libcbfs was using printf for size_t typed variables. However, printf
did not support printing those. This patch fixes the issue, removing
the warning when compiling ram_media.c

struct printf_spec is a purely internal structure. Avoid excessive casts
when using the write function pointer just to make the compiler happy by
using the right types in the first place.

Apply some const correctness to const/non-const strings in libc and
libpci (what an ugly cast that was).
Remove duplicated NULL test in printf_putstr(), already done in
print_string() - reduces size of libpayload by a few bytes.

The new build system uses quite a few more -W flags for the compiler by
