vesa & framebuffer accelerants: Drop engine hook stubs.

We don't need to provide them after the previous commit.

Fix build with FAKE_HARDWARE_CURSOR_SUPPORT turned on

by adding the const specifier to the uint8* parameters of the
prototypes of the vesa_set_cursor_shape and vesa_set_cursor_bitmap
functions.

Thanks looncraz for pointing this out.

Applied an updated patch by looncraz to enable hardware cursor.

I made the following changes to the original patch:
* Add const to the cursor setting functions.
* Removed the legacy cursor copying code.
* Minor coding style cleanup.

Fix some char/line limit and naming problems. No functional change.

* The boot loader now passes on its EDID info to the kernel, and that will
be put into a boot_item in frame_buffer_console_init().
* The VESA driver now supports gettings the EDID information as well; this
is necessary now, since the app_server no longer takes over the mode the
boot loader had chosen.
* Note, we might want to do this via vm86 instead in the future, and remove
the kernel part again.

Added very basic VESA driver. Will be improved in the future (right now
it doesn't really do anything, it just passes the initial frame buffer
on to the app_server).
While it seems to work on real hardware (if you set the video mode to
640x480x32, app_server restriction), under Bochs, the app_server crashes.
