[Bug 497311] [NEW] Support additional separate places for messages

[Scott James Remnant]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: plymouth

Currently the message command only replaces the one message in the
middle of the screen.  There are many situations where I'd want to have
two messages on screen, or a single message in a different place.  Use
case is for displaying key presses that mountall has asked plymouth to
watch for, e.g.

    Errors were found while checking /home

    [F]ix them, [I]gnore errors, [S]kip mountpoint, [A]bort

and

    Checking /home filesystem
    [####     ]

    [C]ancel check

(the top message in that one comese from the theme, obviously)

The obvious way to do this would be to prefix the message with something
like "keys:" ?  Setting the ordinary message should not clear the keys
line, and setting the keys line should not clear the ordinary message.
