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
