MFC: Retain the previous vty and history buffers when setting up

the graphics mode (rev 1.11).

MFC:

- Don't assume the line length in the video memory is always the same as
  the screen width.
- Store the current video mode information in the `video_adapter' struct.
- The size of the `v_offscreensize' field in the VESA mode information
  block is u_int16, not u_int8.

- Bring down the splash screen when a vty is opened for the first
  time.
- Make sure the splash screen/screen saver is stopped before
  switching vtys.
- Read and save initial values in the BIOS data area early.
  VESA BIOS may change BIOS data values when switching modes.
- Fix missing '&' operator.
- Move ISA specific part of driver initialization to syscons_isa.c.

The first stage of console driver reorganization: activate new

keyboard and video card drivers.

Because of the changes, you are required to update your kernel
configuration file now!

The files in sys/dev/syscons are still i386-specific (but less so than
before), and won't compile for alpha and PC98 yet.

syscons still directly accesses the video card registers here and
there; this will be rectified in the later stages.

Yet another round of fixes for the VESA support code.

- Express various sizes in bytes, rather than Kbytes, in the video
  mode and adapter information structures.
- Fill 0 in the linear buffer size field if the linear frame buffer
  is not available.
- Remove SW_VESA_USER ioctl. It is still experimetal and was not meant
  to be released.
- Fix missing cast operator.
- Correctly handle pointers returned by the VESA BIOS. The pointers
  may point to the area either in the BIOS ROM or in the buffer supplied
  by the caller.
- Set the destructive cursor at the right moment.

Fix destructive cursor shape after text mode switch.

This is only for standard modes, I don't check vesa modes yet.

Cosmetic change: adjust copyright notice.

Fix and update for VESA BIOS support in syscons.

- Handle pixel (raster text) mode properly.
   - Clear screen and paint border right.
   - Paint text attribute (colors).
   - Fix off-by-one errors.
   - Add some sanity checks.
- Fix some function prototypes.
- Add some comment lines.
- Define generic text mode numbers so that the user can just give
  "80x25", "80x60", "132x25"..., rather than "VGA_xxx", to `vidcontrol'
  to change the current video mode.  `vidoio.c' and `vesa.c' will map
  these numbers to real video mode numbers appropriate and available
  with the given video hardware.  I believe this will be useful to make
  syscons more portable across archtectures.
