The early vt220 sclp printk code added an extra new line to each
printed multi-line text. If used for the early sclp console this will
lead to numerous extra new lines. Therefore get rid of this semantic
and require that each to be printed string contains a line feed
character if a new line is wanted.

This patch
- unifies the old sclp early code and the sclp early printk code, so
they can use common functions
- makes sure all sclp early functions and variables have the same
"sclp_early" prefix
- converts the sclp early printk code into readable code by using
existing data structures instead of hard coded magic arrays
- splits the early sclp code into two files: sclp_early.c and
sclp_early_core.c. The core file contains everything that is
required by the kernel decompressor and may not call functions not
contained within the core file. Otherwise the result would be a
link error.
- changes interrupt handling to be completely synchronous. The old
early sclp code had a small window which allowed to receive several
interrupts instead of exactly the single expected interrupt. This
did hide a subtle potential bug, which is fixed with this large
rework.
- contains a couple of small cleanups.

If the kernel needs more facilities to run than the machine provides
it is running on, print the facility bit numbers which are missing.
This allows to easily tell what went wrong and if simply the machine
does not provide a required facility or if either the kernel or the
hypervisor may have a bug.

If we have a facility mismatch the kernel only emits a warning that
the processor is not recent enough and stops operating. This doesn't
give us a lot of an idea of what actually went wrong.
As a first step print the machine type in addition.

There is no reason to have this code in assembly language. Therefore
convert it to C.
Note that this code needs special treatment: it is called very early
and one of the side effects is that e.g. the bss section is not
cleared. Therefore the preferred way for static variables is to put
them on the stack which has a size of 16KB.
There is no functional change with this patch.
