Fixes bug in CLI TX buffer management.

  * The @this_cli variable points to a &cli structure of the session being
  * currently parsed, but it's of course available only in command handlers
  * not entered using the @cont hook.
+ *
+ * TX buffer management works as follows: At cli.tx_buf there is a
+ * list of TX buffers (struct cli_out), cli.tx_write is the buffer
+ * currently used by the producer (cli_printf(), cli_alloc_out()) and
+ * cli.tx_pos is the buffer currently used by the consumer
+ * (cli_write(), in system dependent code). The producer uses
+ * cli_out.wpos ptr as the current write position and the consumer
+ * uses cli_out.outpos ptr as the current read position. When the
+ * producer produces something, it calls cli_write_trigger(). If there
+ * is not enough space in the current buffer, the producer allocates
+ * the new one. When the consumer processes everything in the buffer
+ * queue, it calls cli_written(), tha frees all buffers (except the
+ * first one) and schedules cli.event .
