Create a new netconsole runtime option that prepends the kernel version in
the netconsole message. This is useful to map kernel messages to kernel
version in a simple way, i.e., without checking somewhere which kernel
version the host that sent the message is using.
If this option is selected, then the "<release>," is prepended before the
netconsole message. This is an example of a netconsole output, with
release feature enabled:

V1 -> V2:
* Configured at runtime instead of at compilation time.
* Reuse send_ext_msg_udp to avoid extra memory allocation.
V2 -> V3:
* Do no enable netcons if parameters release is set but not extended
log.
