The format _strings_ were previously centralised into the platform-
independent console.c, as const char arrays. Now the actual formatting
operation is centralised as well, by means of console.c providing a
function that takes all the necessary parameters and returns a
formatted piece of text for the console.
Mostly this is so that I can add extra parameters to the message with
some confidence: changing a format string in one file and two fprintf
statements in other files to match seems like the kind of situation
you wish you hadn't got into in the first place :-)
The assorted host-key and warning prompt messages have no reason to
differ between the two platforms, so let's centralise them. Also,
while I'm here, some basic support functions that are the same in both
modules.
