[TIPC]: Debug print buffer enhancements and fixes

This change modifies TIPC's print buffer code as follows:
1) Now supports small print buffers (min. size reduced from 512 bytes to 64)
2) Now uses TIPC_NULL print buffer structure to indicate null device
   instead of NULL pointer (this simplified error handling)
3) Fixed misuse of console buffer structure by tipc_dump()
4) Added and corrected comments in various places
