fbcd1b6eac Make SCS work in 8-bit mode.
This means we can finally do things like VT100 box drawing when using
Syscons (8-bit characters). As far as I know, the only remaining issue
is the absense of proper escape sequences for special keyboard
characters (cursor, F1 to F12, etc) and xterm emulation should be ready
for general use.

Enabling xterm would have the following advantages:

- Easier possible migration to Unicode. cons25 termcap entries are very
  8-bit centric. They use things like CP437 characters for box drawing,
  etc.

- Better support for SSH'ing to other operating systems/devices. Most
  switches use VT100-style admin interfaces.

- Reduced bandwidth, because applications can now use things like
  scrolling regions.

- You can finally use applications like dtach(1) on both the console and
  inside an xterm.

9b934d0930 Move libteken out of the syscons directory.
I initially committed libteken to sys/dev/syscons/teken, but now that
I'm working on a console driver myself, I noticed this was not a good
decision. Move it to sys/teken to make it easier for other drivers to
use a terminal emulator.

Also list teken.c in sys/conf/files, instead of listing it in all the
files.arch files separately.
