Public bug reported:

To enable debugging of some potential errors when loading a profile I
had one already open with the "Central Debug Console" visible before
connecting to the second profile - I then realised that it was
impossible to see which profile was the source of any of the text being
shown in that window.  We need to include the profile name (or perhaps
the Host ID number would do at a push) when more than one profile is
active.

Note that assuming this detail is placed after the time stamp then the
code that paints on or retrieves the data from this TConsole instance
allows for the extra characters (which if we use a number rather than
the name can be kept to a minimum).  Changing from single to multi-
playing mode or a change in the total number of active profiles could
perhaps include a message saying which profile is which number (or for
the return to a single profile just which one it represents) which may
be useful if the text is copied for a log of a situation.  It would
probably also be a good point to introduce code that enabled or disabled
(or even hide) the "MultiView" button on the Main Toolbar which would
also want to be tied into the monitor for the number of profiles.  It is
not entirely clear what effect the "DefaultHost" TConsole will have on
this given that it is the owner of the Central Debug Console and in some
views appears to be an active profile (at least as far as the
HostManager class goes...?)
