Supplement base/log.h with raw output function

This patch introduces the Genode::raw function that prints output
directly via a low-level kernel mechanism, if available.

On base-linux, it replaces the former 'raw_write_str' function.
On base-hw, it replaces the former kernel/log.h interface.

Fixes #2012
