Introduce new set of loader tunables kern.vt.color.N.rgb, where N is a
number from 0 to 15. The value is either comma-separated list decimal
numbers ranging from 0 to 255 that represent values of red, green, and
blue components respectively (i.e. "128,128,128") or 6-digit hex triplet
commonly used to represent colors in HTML or xterm settings (i.e. #808080)
Each tunable overrides one of the 16 hardcoded palette codes and can be set
in loader.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.)
