tools/netconsole: new script for working with netconsole over UDP
While the doc/README.NetConsole does have a snippet for people to
create their own netcat script, it's a lot easier to make a simple
dedicated script and tell people to use it.
Also spruce it up a bit to make it user friendly.

On the host side, please use this script to access the console:

-#! /bin/bash
+ tools/netconsole <ip> [port]
-[ $# = 1 ] || { echo "Usage: $0 target_ip" >&2 ; exit 1 ; }
-TARGET_IP=$1

-The script expects exactly one argument, which is interpreted as the
-target IP address (or host name, assuming DNS is working). The script
-can be interrupted by pressing ^T (CTRL-T).

Be aware that in some distributives (Fedora Core 5 at least)
usage of nc has been changed and -l and -p options are considered
