It's necessary to reset the screen to make sure any vendor pixels are
gone when we start boot1. In the Lenovo X1 (3rd gen), this is the
only way to clear the screen. Previously, the Lenovo logo would only
disappear after the kernel started scrolling the display.
After resetting the screen, EFI could put us in the worst LCD mode
(oversized characters), so we now find the largest mode we can use and
hope it's the most appropriate one (it's not trivial to tell what's
the correct LCD resolution at this point). It's worth noting that the
final stage loader has a 'mode' command that can be used to switch
text modes.
While there, enable the software cursor, just like in the legacy boot
mode.

This was not (and still is not) connected to the build, but the EFI
loader is in the process of being built for other than amd64 so these
files ought to live in their eventual MD location.

Return EINVAL instead of EFTYPE if we have a multiboot kernel loaded but
failed to load the modules. This makes it clear that the kernel/module
should be handled by the multiboot handler but something went wrong.

Zero the list of modules array before using it, or else we might pass
uninitialized data in unused fields of the struct that will make Xen choke.
Also add a check to make sure malloc succeeds.

Summary:
Add "GELI Passphrase:" prompt to boot loader.
A new loader.conf(5) option of geom_eli_passphrase_prompt="YES" will now
allow you to enter your geli(8) root-mount credentials prior to invoking
the kernel.
See check-password.4th(8) for details.

Test Plan:
Drop a head copy of check-password.4th into /boot and then apply the patch
(only the patch to /boot/check-password.4th is required; no other changes are
required but you do have to have a HEAD copy of check-password.4th to
apply the patch).
NB: The rest of your /boot files can be up to 2 years old but no older.
NB: The test won't work unless your kernel has the following change
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=273489
Now, put into /boot/loader.conf:
geom_eli_passphrase_prompt="YES"
and reboot.
You should be prompted for a GELI passphrase before the menu (if enabled),
just after loading loader.conf(5).
NB: It doesn't matter if you're using GELI or not. However if you are using
GELI and a sufficiently new enough release (has SVN r273489) and you entered
the proper passphrase to mount your GELI encrypted root device(s), you should
notice that the boot process did not stop (you went from loader all the way to login).

When taking user input, don't show asterisks as the user types
but instead spin a twiddle. Implement Ctrl-U to clear user input.
If the buffer is empty, either because the user has yet to type
anything, presses Ctrl-U at any time, or presses backspace enough
to end in an empty buffer, the twiddle is erased to provide feed-
back to the user.
