printk: refactor and rework printing logic

Refactor/rework printing logic in order to prepare for moving to
threaded console printing.

- Move @console_seq into struct console so that the current
  "position" of each console can be tracked individually.

- Move @console_dropped into struct console so that the current drop
  count of each console can be tracked individually.

- Modify printing logic so that each console independently loads,
  prepares, and prints its next record.

- Remove exclusive_console logic. Since console positions are
  handled independently, replaying past records occurs naturally.

- Update the comments explaining why preemption is disabled while
  printing from printk() context.

With these changes, there is a change in behavior: the console
replaying the log (formerly exclusive console) will no longer block
other consoles. New messages appear on the other consoles while the
newly added console is still replaying.
