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.

Later, we just see if the "struct mouse_cursor" pointer is set. This
avoids the need to mess with all the conditions several times; this has
been error prone.
While here, rename the variable "m" to a more meaningful "cursor", like
it's done elsewhere in the code.

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.

Like r270273, this has no effect for now, because the cursor is always
drawn. This is in preparation of future changes to vd_bitbltchr_t API.
MFC after: 1 week
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.
MFC after: 1 week
This avoids unnecessary redraw. In particular, during boot, where the
cursor is disabled and its fake position is [0;0], this triggered a
refresh of the whole screen each time vt_flush() is called.

Before the global flag was set/unset using the CONS_MOUSECTL ioctl, and
the per-window flag through the MOUSE_SETLEVEL or MOUSE_SETMODE ioctls.
Also, if the cursor is already enabled/disabled, return immediatly. This
avoids to reset the cursor's position to the center of the screen.
This matches syscons' behavior.
While here, remove a trailing space and a redundant variable
declaration.
This change is a bit ugly, but so is the coupling between the i915
driver and syscons. It isn't worth developing a more elegant solution
only to support the legacy syscons console.
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.

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.)

If a vt(4) font does not exactly fit the screen dimensions, the console
window is offset so that it is centered. A rectangle is drawn at the
top, left, right, and bottom of the screen, to erase any leftovers that
are outside of the new usable console area.
If the x offset or y offset is 0 then the left border or top border
respectively is not drawn. The right and bottom borders may be one
pixel larger than necessary due to rounding, and are always drawn.
Prior to this change a 0 offset would result in a panic when calling
vt_drawrect with an x or y coordinate of -1.
