    Refactor the monitor API and prepare it for decoupled terminals:
    term_print functions are renamed to monitor_* and all monitor services
    gain a new parameter (mon) that will once refer to the monitor instance
    the output is supposed to appear on. However, the argument remains
    unused for now. All monitor command callbacks are also extended by a mon
    parameter so that command handlers are able to pass an appropriate
    reference to monitor output services.
    
    For the case that monitor outputs so far happen without clearly
    identifiable context, the global variable cur_mon is introduced that
    shall once provide a pointer either to the current active monitor (while
    processing commands) or to the default one. On the mid or long term,
    those use case will be obsoleted so that this variable can be removed
    again.
    
    Due to the broad usage of the monitor interface, this patch mostly deals
    with converting users of the monitor API. A few of them are already
    extended to pass 'mon' from the command handler further down to internal
    functions that invoke monitor_printf.
    
    At this chance, monitor-related prototypes are moved from console.h to
    a new monitor.h. The same is done for the readline API.
