It is desirable to use different port numbers for sending and receiving
packets with netconsole in the case where you have more than one device
on the local subnet with netconsole enabled for broadcast. When they
use the same port for both, any output from one will look like input to
the other. This is typlically not desirable.
This patch allows the input and output ports to be specified separately
in the environment.

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.

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.
