Hi,

When looking at global variable usage for my `branch.default*` settings, I found the `advice_` variables which were simple enough to resolve.

This concludes the journey started in c4a09cc9ccb (Merge branch 'hw/advise-ng', 2020-03-25) to update the advice configuration API to help avoid bad coding patterns in usage of the `advice_` global variables.

New `advice_*` variables also in flight will conflict with this patchset, but the conflict resolution is trivial (if not at all automatic).

Thanks,
--Ben

v1 -> v2:
  - improve commit messages to mention the history of the current state
  - split the API updates between readers and writers of `advice_*` into
    separate commits
  - reorder commits to better show the progression of the replacement
