The RTEMS print user need to know nothing about a particular printer
implementation. In particular get rid of the <stdio.h> include which
would be visible via <rtems.h>.
This change adds rtems_printf and related functions and wraps the
RTEMS print plugin support into a user API. All references to the
plugin are removed and replaced with the rtems_printer interface.
Printk and related functions are made to return a valid number of
characters formatted and output.
The function attribute to check printf functions has been added
to rtems_printf and printk. No changes to remove warrnings are part
of this patch set.
The testsuite has been moved over to the rtems_printer. The testsuite
has a mix of rtems_printer access and direct print control via the
tmacros.h header file. The support for begink/endk has been removed
as it served no purpose and only confused the code base. The testsuite
has not been refactored to use rtems_printf. This is future work.
