vesa: live mode patching, nvidia version.

Some improvements to allow setting 8, 15, 16 and 32bit modes, and detect
the correct mode number after patching the BIOS automatically, instead
of hardcoding it.

Also move the patching code to a separate file.

Fixes #10570.

vesa: live BIOS patching for Intel video devices

The VESA standard does not define any way for software to set a custom
video mode, which means normally we would be constrained to whichever
modes the video card manufacturer decided to provide. However, since we
run the BIOS in an emulated environment, it is possible (and even quite
easy) to patch it and inject any video mode we want, provided we know
the format to use and where to put the info in.

This approach was used in the NewOS VESA driver, as well as in
915resolution (a tool that predates the availability of native drivers
for Linux for Intel videocards). Later on it was also used in Chameleon
and Clover, bootloaders that are used for hackintoshes (running MacOS on
unsupported hardware).

This commit implements full support for Intel cards only, AMD and NVidia
will be added later (but there is preliminary code to detect them)

* The VESA driver now tries to find the PCI card that it is controlling by
checking the physical frame buffer location.
* This allows us to map the whole frame buffer at once, which means there is no
need anymore to remap the memory on mode change.
* Also, this will ease the burden of the MTRRs, as the memory size will be
properly aligned.

* Added VESA capabilities field to the kernel args.
* The vesa driver no longer uses VGA programming if the chip does not support
VGA compatibility.
* The VESA driver now tries to set the DAC to 8 bits per color gun.
* In VESA modes, the driver no longer tries to use VGA programming; introduced
the new vesa_set_indexed_colors() that is now used for palette programming.
This should fix wrong colors of 8 bit BWindowScreen users with VESA on real
hardware (emulators usually didn't mind either way).
* Note that the app_server needs to maintain a palette per 8 bit screen, as
right now, the colors are garbled after a workspace switch. Stefano, are you
looking into that already?

* Added DPMS support to the VESA driver, in case the hardware/BIOS supports it.
* Minor cleanup.

Patch by Jan Klötzke with minor changes by myself:
* Use vm86 mode to call the VESA BIOS to do the actual mode switching by
providing an ioctl in the vesa driver.
* Fix vm86.h.

* Changed get_boot_item() API: it now also can retrieve the size of the boot
item entry.
* The bios_ia32 video platform code now stores the available VESA modes in
the new vesa_modes kernel_args field.
* When configuring a VESA mode via settings file, it's no longer needed to
specify the exact mode - the closest available mode is now used. This should
help with bug #1962.
* frame_buffer_console_init() now also creates a boot_item for the VESA modes
in the kernel_args.
* The VESA accelerant now filters the mode list to only contain modes that
are actually supported.
* Moved non-shared vesa driver data into its own file vesa_private.h.
