New printing support

Features:

  - Adds macros like `info!` (with newline) and `pr_info!` (without
    newline) for the usual levels that the kernel support.

  - Includes the "continuation" level.

  - Includes automatically the module name in the string.

  - Includes, hopefully, pretty detailed logs.

  - Includes aliases to make it even easier to find the equivalent to
    `println!` for newcomers.

Implementation:

  - Stack usage should be 1 KiB at most, regardless of the number of
    invocations of the macro in a single function. This should make
    it possible to use even when optimizations are not enabled.
    See code comments for the details.

  - The formatting string is compile-time, shared as a `static`,
    and always the same. We could perhaps pre-generate them
    per-module to avoid another `%.*s` in `printk()`, but I don't
    think it is worth the complexity at the moment, and it would
    increase memory usage anyway.

Naming:

  - The `pr_*` names are the same as the kernel ones, and behave
    similarly, i.e. no newline at the end.

  - The non-`pr_*` ones are the same but without the prefix.
    They look better (shorter, no underscore), have the newline like
    `println!`, and they are what people should almost always use except
    if they need continuation. And they look pretty similar to the Rust
    `log` crate ones, too!

  - I think we can afford these short names (in the prelude, even!) since
    this is new code and nobody should be defining macros in the kernel
    with such short names, ever!

Future:

  - I will open an issue with a few things that can be added on top,
    similar to the kernel parameters feature.

  - When we have tidy support (or custom clippy lints), we can add
    one to find the pattern:

        pr_*("...\n", ...);

    and suggest the non-prefixed, non-newline version instead:

        *("...", "...");
