xen/console: Fix truncation of panic() messages

The panic() function uses a static buffer to format its arguments into, simply
to emit the result via printk("%s", buf).  This buffer is not large enough for
some existing users in Xen.  e.g.:

  (XEN) ****************************************
  (XEN) Panic on CPU 0:
  (XEN) Invalid device tree blob at physical address 0x46a00000.
  (XEN) The DTB must be 8-byte aligned and must not exceed 2 MB in size.
  (XEN)
  (XEN) Plea****************************************

The remainder of this particular message is 'e check your bootloader.', but
has been inherited by RISC-V from ARM.

It is also pointless double buffering.  Implement vprintk() beside printk(),
and use it directly rather than rendering into a local buffer, removing it as
one source of message limitation.

This marginally simplifies panic(), and drops a global used-once buffer.
