Access to ninjas 'console' pool through GN

[arvid.g...@gmail.com]

Ninja has a specific pool called `console`, to allow access to stdout/stderr for the running process. This is useful for test, and would be great to be exposed in GN. Here is an example (the "start in ..." are added for the effect): https://imgur.com/a/YoSvV
As of right now, any pool created in GN is prefixed with the directory it's in, and trying to simply use `console` as a pool name results in an error.

We used to have some Ninja console pools but I think nobody used it, it bitrotted, and was eventually removed (https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/554300)

I added back support for this, mostly as a side effect of a bugfix, in https://crrev.com/552353. If you define a pool called "console" in your root BUILD.gn file in the default toolchain, it will map to the ninja console pool.
