custom targets: Add a 'console' kwarg for long-running commands

Ninja buffers all commands and prints them only after they are
complete. Because of this, long-running commands such as `cargo
build` show no output at all and it's impossible to know if the
command is merely taking too long or is stuck somewhere.

To cater to such use-cases, Ninja has a 'pool' with depth 1 called
'console', and all processes in this pool have the following
properties:

1. stdout is connected to the program, so output can be seen in
   real-time
2. The output of all other commands is buffered and displayed after
   a command in this pool finishes running
3. Commands in this pool are executed serially (normal commands
   continue to run in the background)

This feature is available since Ninja v1.5
