[5/9] netconsole: Introduce netconsole_target

Introduce a wrapper structure over netpoll to represent logging targets
configured in netconsole. This will get extended with other members in
further patches.

The original patchset did this along with (and inside the #ifdef) of
CONFIG_NETCONSOLE_DYNAMIC itself. I decided otherwise, and was able to
drastically cut down on the #ifdef-complexity of final netconsole.c.
Also, struct netconsole_target would be required for multiple targets
support also, and not just dynamic reconfigurability. Previously these
two things were coupled, but I want to de-link that (more on this later).

Note that this patch in itself looks quite redundant / stupid, but it is
purposefully made this way, so further patches are more readable.
