1c20e4a9fb tools/netconsole: use ncb automatically if available
The standard netcat, while ubiquitous, doesn't handle broadcast udp packets
properly.  The local ncb util does however.  So if ncb can be located in
the standard locations, automatically use that instead.

bcb6dd9187 tools/netconsole: new script for working with netconsole over UDP
While the doc/README.NetConsole does have a snippet for people to
create their own netcat script, it's a lot easier to make a simple
dedicated script and tell people to use it.

Also spruce it up a bit to make it user friendly.
