Add support for multiple console types in CLI (IDFGH-16697)

[marcelobarrosufu]

Description

README.md states that is possible to use USB but this is not working for ESP21C6:

... IEEE802.15.4 Command Line is enabled with UART as the default interface. Additionally, USB JTAG is also supported and can be activated through the menuconfig...

Now we can choose the desired option in "Component config->ESP System Settings->Channel for console output" when compiling. For ESP32C6, for instance, only "UART0" was working and console could not be available using "USB Serial/JTAG Controller".

Now, refactored app_main to initialize the console REPL based on the selected configuration: UART, USB CDC/JTAG. This improves flexibility and allows the CLI to work with different hardware interfaces.

Snippet code added came from:
examples/system/console/basic/main/console_example_main.c

Inside option "Component config->ESP System Settings->Channel for console output" select each option and build.
