[PATCH v2 02/26] console: Add a way to output to serial only

[Simon Glass]

In the video drivers it is useful to print errors while debugging but
doing so risks an infinite loop as the debugging info itself may go
through the video drivers.

Add a new console function that prints information only to the serial
device, thus making it safe for use in debugging.
