advice: refactor advise API

Currently it's very easy for the advice library's callers to miss
checking the visibility step before printing an advice. Also, it makes
more sense for this step to be handled by the advice library.

Add a new advise_if_enabled function that checks the visibility of
advice messages before printing.

Add a new helper advise_enabled to check the visibility of the advice
if the caller needs to carry out complicated processing based on that
value.

A list of config variables 'advice_config_keys' is added to be used by
list_config_advices() instead of 'advice_config[]' because we'll get
rid of 'advice_config[]' and the global variables once we migrate all
the callers to use the new APIs.

Also change the advise call in tag library from advise() to
advise_if_enabled() to construct an example of the usage of the new
API.
