vt(4) has a stub CONS_MODEINFO ioctl that does not provide any data
but returns success. This needs to be fixed in the kernel, but address
it in vidcontrol(1) as well in case it's run on an older kernel.

r273544 changed the -f option allow no arguments in vt mode (used to
reset the font back to the default), but broke the optionality of the
size argument for syscons. Drop the required argument from syscons'
optstring for -f so the optional argument handler works the same way
for both syscons and vt.

To restore the default font using vidcontrol(1), use the "-f" flag
without an argument:
vidcontrol -f < /dev/ttyv0

As sc(4) and vt(4) coexist and are both enabled in GENERIC, the existence
of a vt(4) sysctl is not sufficient to determine that vt(4) is in use.

o Teach vidcontrol(1) to distinct which virtual terminal system is running now.
o Load vt(4) fonts from different location.

While there, remove the false optimisation of the colors array. It seems
that changing it to an array of pointers instead of a 16x16 array does
not cause any increase in binary size at all.
This will make it more easy for people to experiment with TERM=xterm.
Instead of echoing these strange escape sequences, I can just instruct

the compile time option 'options SC_PIXEL_MODE', and VESA support (a.k.a.
vesa.ko) must be either loaded, or be compiled into the kernel.
Do not return EINVAL when the mouse state is changed to what it already is,

the video mode number from the vidcontrol -i mode output. Also, revert the

implemented using a new VT_LOCKSWITCH ioctl. Although it is possible
to implement something like this by VT_SETMODEing to VT_PROCESS and
never releasing the vty, that method has a number of downsides, the
biggest of which is that some program has to stay resident for the
lock to be in effect.

1) Removed the low-level (unneeded in this context) details on
escape sequences that are already documented in screen(4).
2) Removed whitespace at EOL.
3) Removed the garbage from previous revision.
Avoid using parenthesis enclosure macros (.Pq and .Po/.Pc) with plain text.
Not only this slows down the mdoc(7) processing significantly, but it also
has an undesired (in this case) effect of disabling hyphenation within the
entire enclosed block.
