framebuffer: report display EDID data

This allows to see the display in Screen preferences, and know its DPI
and physical size (as much as EDID data can be trusted). This
information could be used to compute the default font size, for example,
so it's important that all drivers provide it whenever possible.

Remove dumb-framebuffer handling logic from the VESA driver.

This reverts commit a0db7ef2729955d83f002b51034f0dedd39b4a0a.
This reverts commit 40cdf7d607211c5f27854cd3048ac00e8baf20ab.
This reverts commit 2ff22d6734176a2cf93a05c6842f69ef59d27a26.
This reverts commit b9eacd390dbdf776561062b324dab4c6f5a0dc80.
This partially reverts commit 5ae7ac5fd9957b3ff9faf211fd66976170c21b2c.

This was all added in the run-up to the removal of the framebuffer driver,
or was added since then to enhance framebuffer-only support in that driver.

Bring back the framebuffer driver and accelerant.

This reverts commit 72fc5e6a71075dd28de47514d93bdd80065203b0.

They were removed because app_server often picked them instead of
a better graphics driver, and fallbacks merged into VESA instead.
That seems to have created more problems than it solved, in the long run,
and so the intent now is to change app_server to understand the
framebuffer driver as a fallback one instead.

Add a dumb framebuffer driver.

This is separate to the VESA driver, as the VESA driver requires
using the VBE BIOS. Under UEFI, we don't have the VBE BIOS, nor
are we able to switch modes after leaving UEFI Boot Services, so
a dumb framebuffer driver seemed like the easier way to approach
the problem.

The framebuffer & vesa drivers now test for the presence of the
VESA_MODES_BOOT_INFO boot item to distinguish between which driver
to use. Also added check for the VESA mode count to determine
whether to add the VESA_MODES_BOOT_INFO item.

UEFI video updated to explicitly zero out the VESA and EDID
boot data.
