Fix the 'renaming kludge' that we absolutely cannot do going forward
(it's cost us days of engineering time).
console=comconsole talks to the hardware directly. This is available
only on amd64. It is not available anywhere else (and so requires
changes for people doing comconsole on aarch64)
console=eficom talks to the console via EFI protocols. It's available
on amd64, aarch64 and riscv64. It's the first port that we find, though
it can be overriden by efi_com_port (which should be set to the UID of
the serial port, not the I/O port, despite the name). devinfo -v
will give the UID to uartX mapping.
This is an incompatible change for HYPER-V on amd64. It only works with
eficom console, so you'll need to change your configuration in
loader.conf. No compatibility hack will ever be provided for this (since
it requires renamig, which the loader cannot reliably do).
It's also an incompatible change for aarch64. comconsole will need to
change to eficom. There might be a comconsole "shim" for this.
All the interlock to keep only eficom and comconsole from both attaching
have been removed.

UEFI provides ConIn/ConOut handles for consoles that it supports,
which include the text-video and serial ports. When the serial port
is available, use the UEFI driver instead of direct io-port accesses
to avoid conflicts between the firmware and direct hardware access, as
happens on Hyper-V (Azure) setups.
This change enables efiserialio to be built for efi-amd64 and has
higher order priority vs comconsole, and only uses efiserialio
if the hypervisor is Hyper-V. When efiserialio successfully
probes, it will set efi_comconsole_avail=true which will prevent
comconsole from probing in this setup.
Tested on Hyper-V, ESXi and Azure VMs.

For historical reasons console color number 3 may be either yellow (most
consoles) or brown (VGA palette). The console escape code standard
uses "yellow", but teken color name constants appear to be based on the
VGA scheme and use TC_BROWN for color 3. Even so, the palette table
used 50,50,0 as the RGB percentage tuple, resulting in a dim yellow for
framebuffer consoles at the time teken was introduced.
Amusingly, in 19e2ce2d83 the comment on the palette entry was changed
from "brown" to "dark yellow" but the colour itself was changed from
a pure yellow to being somewhat brown.

previously drop the frame on the floor completely and ultimately
timeout, increasing boot time on particularly busy hosts as we keep

There's a currently ad-hoc protocol to hand off the FreeBSD kernel
payload between the loader and the kernel itself when Xen is in the
middle of the picture. Such protocol wasn't very resilient to changes
to the loader itself, because it relied on moving metadata around to
package it using a certain layout. This has proven to be fragile, so
replace it with a more robust version.
The new protocol requires using a xen_header structure that will be
used to pass data between the FreeBSD loader and the FreeBSD kernel
when booting in dom0 mode. At the moment the only data conveyed is the
offset of the start of the module metadata relative to the start of the
module itself.
This is a slightly disruptive change since it also requires a change
to the kernel which is contained in this patch. In order to update
with this change the kernel must be updated before updating the
loader, as described in the handbook. Note this is only required when
booting a FreeBSD/Xen dom0. This change doesn't affect the normal
FreeBSD boot protocol.
This fixes booting FreeBSD/Xen in dom0 mode after
3630506b9d.
