A new terminal_set_cursor() is added: it wraps the existing
teken_set_cursor() function.
In vtbuf_grow(), the cursor position is adjusted at the end of the
function. In vt_change_font(), we call terminal_set_cursor() just after
terminal_set_winsize_blank(), while the terminal is mute.
This fixes a bug where, after loading a kernel video driver which
increases the terminal window size, the cursor remains at its old
position, in other words, in the middle of the display content.

It's now possible to scroll up the 500 hard-coded lines of history, not
just a fraction of them. For instance, one can reach the top of the boot
process.
Sometimes, when scrolling or when changing the screen size (by changing
the font or loading a KMS driver for instance), one could see the
history cycling (old content appeared below latest lines). This is
fixed.
Now, when the resolution changes are more lines can be shown, the
displayed area is adjusted so that, if the screen was filled with
content before, it's filled with content after as well: more history
is visible, instead of having blank lines below the previously visible
content.

... not just the visible part.
This fixes a bug where, when switching from eg. vt_vga to vt_fb (ie. the
resolution goes up), the originally hidden, uninitialized area of the
buffer is displayed on the screen. This leads to a missing text cursor
when it's over an unitialized area.
This was also visible when selecting text: the uninitialized area was
not highlighted.
Internally, this area was zeroed: characters were all 0x00000000,
meaning the foreground and background color was black. Now, everything
is filled with a space with a gray foreground color, like the visible
area.
While here, remove the check for the mute flag and always use
TERMINAL_NORM_ATTR as the character attribute (ie. gray foreground,
black background).

In several functions, vtbuf_putchar() in particular, the lock on vtbuf
is acquired twice:
1. once by the said functions;
2. once in vtbuf_dirty().
Now, vtbuf_dirty_locked() and vtbuf_dirty_cell_locked() allow to
acquire that lock only once.
This improves the input speed of vt(4). To measure the gain, a
50,000-lines file was displayed on the console using cat(1). The time
taken by cat(1) is reported below:
o On amd64, with vt_vga:
- before: 1.0"
- after: 0.5"
o On sparc64, with creator_vt:
- before: 13.6"
- after: 10.5"

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_grow may be called with a new size that's larger than previous but
does not require reallocation - for example, when the number of columns
is the same and new number of rows is less than the history size.
Prior to this change we would fail to update vb_scr_size, and then hit
a KASSERT when trying to write to the newly visible rows.

o New macro POS_COPY to copy between term_pos_t.
o Add vtbuf_wth/vtbuf_htw helpers, to translate between screen coordinates and
circular history buffer location.
o Update vtbuf_iscursor to mark region selected by mouse.
o New helper vtbuf_flush_mark, to update regions where copy/paste mark changed.
o New method vtbuf_get_marked_len to get storage size for paste buffer.
o vtbuf_extract_marked fill (caller allocated buffer) with selected region data.
o Simplify mouse handler for copy/paste, and use vtbuf_flush_mark to update.
o New method vtbuf_scroll_mode, to help indicate Scroll mode by hiding cursor.
o Update header with new vtbuf methods.
o Add new vt_driver method vd_markedwin, to hold last window with selection.
o Enable paste support in core module.

Pointed by: Claude Buisson <clbuisson@orange.fr> (Scroll mode indication)
o Join history buffer with screen buffer. Same type of things.
o Reimplement buffer as an array of rows. Make it circular, so no overflow
tracking.
o Implement VT_PROCESS mode. Locking of VT switching by owner process.
o Add debug and deadtimer sysctls. deadtimer - defaulting to 15 seconds, time
to wait process answer in VT_PROCESS mode, to do VT switch in case when
process hang.
o Implement later console attach.
o Fix (partially yet) keyboard allocation.
o Add drivers priority. Disallow to replace KMS driver with VGA.
o Add ability to resize terminals.
