Subject: [PATCH net-next v5 2/2] netconsole: Enable compile time configuration

Enable netconsole features to be set at compilation time. Create two
Kconfig options that allow users to set extended logs and release
prepending features at compilation time.

Right now, the user needs to pass command line parameters to netconsole,
such as "+"/"r" to enable extended logs and version prepending features.

With these two options, the user could set the default values for the
features at compile time, and don't need to pass it in the command line
to get them enabled, simplifying the command line.
