Compared to the deprecated vd_bitbltchr_t callback, vd_bitblt_text_t
receives:
o the whole text buffer
o the dirty area
o the mouse cursor (map, position, colors)
This allows the backend to perform optimization on how to draw things.
The goal is to remove vd_bitbltchr_t and vd_putchar_t, once all driver
are converted (only vt_vga is included in this commit).
In vt_vga, this allows to draw the text and the cursor in one pass,
without ever reading from video memory (because it has all the context).
The main benefit is the speed improvement: no more slideshow during
boot!
Other bugs fixed in vt_vga are:
o left-most characters are drawn properly (the left-most pixels were
missing with bold characters and some wide letters such as 'm')
o no more black square around the cursor
o no cursor flickering when the text is scrolling
There are still many problems to fix: the known issues are marked with
"FIXME" inside the code.

At the same time, "w" and "h" members are now called "width" and
"height". The goal is to have a more "public" structure, because it will
soon be passed as argument to a new callback, replacing vd_bitbltchr_t.

This fixes bad looking refresh when switching window: squares instead
of text, flashing screen, and so on. In the worst case, vt_flush() came
at a very inappropriate timing and the screen was not refreshed at all
(leaving squares all over the place).
This doesn't fix the flickering of the screen with vt_vga, because the
sync signal is temporarily stopped and the video memory is cleared.

Currently, this has no effect, because the cursor is always redrawn
anyway. But this will be useful after improvements to the vd_bitbltchr_t
callback API.
The vt_device structure members used to store the position of the cursor
as of the last redraw are renamed from vd_mdirty{x,y} to vd_mold{x,y}.
The associated comment is fixed too. Also, their value is now expressed
in pixels, not in character columns/row.

These changes prevent sysctl(8) from returning proper output,
such as:
1) no output from sysctl(8)
2) erroneously returning ENOMEM with tools like truss(1)
or uname(1)
truss: can not get etype: Cannot allocate memory
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.

there is an environment variable which shall initialize the SYSCTL
during early boot. This works for all SYSCTL types both statically and
dynamically created ones, except for the SYSCTL NODE type and SYSCTLs
which belong to VNETs. A new flag, CTLFLAG_NOFETCH, has been added to
be used in the case a tunable sysctl has a custom initialisation
function allowing the sysctl to still be marked as a tunable. The
kernel SYSCTL API is mostly the same, with a few exceptions for some
special operations like iterating childrens of a static/extern SYSCTL
node. This operation should probably be made into a factored out
common macro, hence some device drivers use this. The reason for
changing the SYSCTL API was the need for a SYSCTL parent OID pointer
and not only the SYSCTL parent OID list pointer in order to quickly
generate the sysctl path. The motivation behind this patch is to avoid
parameter loading cludges inside the OFED driver subsystem. Instead of
adding special code to the OFED driver subsystem to post-load tunables
into dynamically created sysctls, we generalize this in the kernel.
Other changes:
- Corrected a possibly incorrect sysctl name from "hw.cbb.intr_mask"
to "hw.pcic.intr_mask".
- Removed redundant TUNABLE statements throughout the kernel.
- Some minor code rewrites in connection to removing not needed
TUNABLE statements.
- Added a missing SYSCTL_DECL().
- Wrapped two very long lines.
- Avoid malloc()/free() inside sysctl string handling, in case it is
called to initialize a sysctl from a tunable, hence malloc()/free() is
not ready when sysctls from the sysctl dataset are registered.
- Bumped FreeBSD version to indicate SYSCTL API change.
