Those tunables are used to set a specific mode in vt(4) instead of using
the default mode.

enable sysctls.

feature). Comments in defaults/rc.conf are updated to match the contents
of the modified man-page rc.conf(5).

implement options TERMINAL_{KERN,NORM}_ATTR. These are aliased to
SC_{KERNEL_CONS,NORM}_ATTR and like these latter, allow to change the
default colors of normal and kernel text respectively.
Note on the naming: Although affecting the output of vt(4), technically
kern/subr_terminal.c is primarily concerned with changing default colors
so it would be inconsistent to term these options VT_{KERN,NORM}_ATTR.
Actually, if the architecture and abstraction of terminal+teken+vt would
be perfect, dev/vt/* wouldn't be touched by this commit at all.

- vt_vga(4) is a driver rather than a function so reference it accordingly.
- Uncomment HISTORY section given that vt(4) will first appear in 9.3.

With this change and previous work from ray@ it will be possible to put
both in GENERIC, and have one enabled by default, but allow the other to
be selected via the loader.
(The previous implementation had separate kern.vt.disable and
hw.syscons.disable tunables, and would panic if both drivers were
compiled in and neither was explicitly disabled.)
