Subject: printk: add Kconfig option to set default console loglevel
Add a configuration option to set the default console loglevel. This is,
as before, still possible to override at runtime through bootargs
(loglevel=<x>), sysrq and /proc/printk.
There are cases where adding additional arguments on the commandline is
impractical, and changing the default for the kernel when being built
makes more sense. Provide such a method here, for those who choose to do
so.
Also, while touching this code, clarify the difference between
MESSAGE_LOGLEVEL_DEFAULT and CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL_DEFAULT.
