Provides a blocking call to read a character from the console using
semihosting.chardev, if specified. This takes some careful command
line options to use stdio successfully as the serial ports, monitor
and semihost all want to use stdio. Here's a sample set of command
line options which share stdio between semihost, monitor and serial
ports:
qemu \
-chardev stdio,mux=on,id=stdio0 \
-serial chardev:stdio0 \
-semihosting-config enable=on,chardev=stdio0 \
-mon chardev=stdio0,mode=readline
This creates a chardev hooked to stdio and then connects all of the
subsystems to it. A shorter mechanism would be good to hear about.

This is ostensibly to avoid the weirdness of len looking like it might
come from a guest and sometimes being used. While we are at it fix up
the error checking for the arm-linux-user implementation of the API
which got flagged up by Coverity (CID 1401700).

Now we have a common semihosting console interface use that for our
string output. However ARM is currently unique in also supporting
semihosting for linux-user so we need to replicate the API in
linux-user. If other architectures gain this support we can move the
file later.
