 This function print formated text on the shared terminal arbitrarily allocated by the kernel, taking the TTY lock
 for exclusive access. It supports the same formats as the giet_tty_printf() function. In case or error, it makes a giet_exit().
 
- * '''void giet_tty_getc( char* byte )

 This blocking function fetches a string of decimal characters (most significant digit first) to build a 32-bits unsigned integer from the private TTY terminal  that must have been allocated to the calling task in the application mapping. It uses the TTY_RX_IRQ interrupt, and the associated kernel buffer.
 The non-blocking system function _tty_read is called several times, and the decimal characters are written in a 32 characters buffer until a <LF> character is read. It ignores non-decimal characters, and displays an echo 
 system function) for each decimal character. The <DEL> character is interpreted, and previous characters can be cancelled.  When the <LF> character is received, the string is converted to an unsigned int value. If the number of decimal digit is too large for the 32 bits range, the zero value is returned.

+ === void giet_tty_gets( char* buf, unsigned int bufsize ) ===
 This blocking function fetches a string from the private terminal that must have been allocated to the calling task in the application mapping. It writes the string to a fixed length buffer.
 It uses the TTY_RX_IRQ interrupt, and the associated kernel buffer.
 Up to (bufsize - 1) characters (including the non printable characters) are copied into buffer, and the string is completed by a NUL character. The <LF> character is interpreted, and the function close the string with a NUL character if <LF> is read. The <DEL> character is interpreted, and the corresponding character(s) are removed from the target buffer. It does not provide an echo.
