[PATCH v8 3/7] xen/console: switch conring runtime allocation to xvmalloc

From: Denis Mukhin <[email protected]> 

The console ring only needs to be virtually contiguous; it does not need
a naturally aligned or physically contiguous allocation. Replace the
runtime xenheap allocation in console_init_ring() with an xvmalloc-backed
buffer.

Also clamp the user-configured ring size to the supported range and emit
warning when the requested size is adjusted.

Drop full stops in all diagnostic messages in console_init_ring() to align
code with the common code pattern.
