Back in 2007, commit 0c97c9d437 ("'simple' error message functions by
Loic Grenie") introduced bb_simple_perror_msg() to allow for a lower
overhead call to bb_perror_msg() when only a string was being printed
with no parameters. This saves space for some CPU architectures because
it avoids the overhead of a call to a variadic function. However there
has never been a simple version of bb_error_msg(), and since 2007 many
new calls to bb_perror_msg() have been added that only take a single
parameter and so could have been using bb_simple_perror_message().
This changeset introduces 'simple' versions of bb_info_msg(),
bb_error_msg(), bb_error_msg_and_die(), bb_herror_msg() and
bb_herror_msg_and_die(), and replaces all calls that only take a
single parameter, or use something like ("%s", arg), with calls to the
corresponding 'simple' version.
Since it is likely that single parameter calls to the variadic functions
may be accidentally reintroduced in the future a new debugging config
option WARN_SIMPLE_MSG has been introduced. This uses some macro magic
which will cause any such calls to generate a warning, but this is
turned off by default to avoid use of the unpleasant macros in normal
circumstances.
This is a large changeset due to the number of calls that have been
replaced. The only files that contain changes other than simple
substitution of function calls are libbb.h, libbb/herror_msg.c,
libbb/verror_msg.c and libbb/xfuncs_printf.c. In miscutils/devfsd.c,
networking/udhcp/common.h and util-linux/mdev.c additonal macros have
been added for logging so that single parameter and multiple parameter
logging variants exist.
The amount of space saved varies considerably by architecture, and was
found to be as follows (for 'defconfig' using GCC 7.4):
Arm: -92 bytes
MIPS: -52 bytes
PPC: -1836 bytes
x86_64: -938 bytes
Note that for the MIPS architecture only an exception had to be made
disabling the 'simple' calls for 'udhcp' (in networking/udhcp/common.h)
because it made these files larger on MIPS.

Redundant help texts (one which only repeats the description)
are deleted.
Descriptions and help texts are trimmed.
Some config options are moved, even across menus.
No config option _names_ are changed.

Similar to the "big" util-linux version. For !DMESG_PRETTY, the option is accepted
(but ignored) as well, for compatibility reasons.

Since Linux 3.5 (7ff9554bb5: printk: convert byte-buffer to variable-length
record buffer), klog buffer can now contain log lines with multi-char
loglevel indicators (<[0-9]+>) - So we can no longer just skip 3 bytes.
Instead skip past the terminating '>' like util-linux does.

This change retains "or later" state! No licensing _changes_ here,
only form is adjusted (article, space between "GPL" and "v2" and so on).

It is impossible to formulate sane ABI based on
size of ulong because it can be 32-bit or 64-bit.
Basically it means that you cannot portably use
more that 32 option chars in one call anyway...
Make it explicit.
1) the c argument shouldn't have had a : after that, dunno how that got there.
2) the xgetlarg for level was using size
3) because xgetlarg's error message _SUCKS_ (it does a show_usage() rather than giving any specific info about the range that was violated) I dropped the range down to 2 bytes. (Which works fine, I dunno why we were nit-picking about that...)
If BusyBox was compiled with -DCONFIG_FEATURE_CLEAN_UP dmesg command
segfaults if invoked with the "-n" option. (Due to a free() of an
uninitialized pointer).
