riscv: sbi_console: prefer SBI v2.0 DBCN ecall over legacy sbi_console_putchar()

As the legacy sbi_console_putchar() may be deprecated in the future,
it is recommended to use sbi_dbcn_write_byte() provided by SBI v2.0
DBCN extension [1]. However, if the DBCN extension is not supported,
sbi_console_putchar() can still be used as the last resort.

core: Refactor console_init() and introduce plat_console_init()

Since there are some cross-platform console drivers, we let
console_init() be common code to have a chance to initialize those
console drivers (e.g., semihosting console).

If the cross-platform console drivers are not configured to be compiled,
plat_console_init() will be invoked to initialize platform-specific
console driver.
