Increase MAX_USERDATA_ITEMS from 16 to 256 entries now that the userdata
buffer is allocated dynamically.
The previous limit of 16 was necessary because the buffer was statically
allocated for all targets. With dynamic allocation, we can support more
entries without wasting memory on targets that don't use userdata.
This allows users to attach more metadata to their netconsole messages,
which is useful for complex debugging and logging scenarios.
Also update the testcase accordingly.

Add a new selftest for netconsole that tests the userdata entry limit
functionality. The test performs two key verifications:
1. Create MAX_USERDATA_ITEMS (16) userdata entries successfully
2. Confirm that attempting to create an additional userdata entry fails
The selftest script uses the netcons library and checks the behavior
by attempting to create entries beyond the maximum allowed limit.
