[PATCH] xen/console: make console buffer size configurable

[dmkhn@xxxxxxxxx]

Add new CONRING_SIZE Kconfig parameter to specify the boot console buffer size
in bytes. The value is rounded to the nearest power of 2 to match existing
conring_size= behavior.

The supported range is [16KiB..128MiB].

Bump default size to 32 KiB.
