* Added arch_debug_blue_screen_try_getchar() and arch_debug_serial_try_getchar()
which don't wait for a character, but return -1 when no character is
available ATM. Implemented correctly for x86 only.
* Changed the semantics of the debugger_module_info::debugger_getchar() hook.
It is supposed to return immediately now.
* Adjusted usb_keyboard accordingly. Hacked UHCI's debug_process_transfer() to
achieve that. It does now start, check, or cancel a transfer. Split
UHCI::ProcessDebugTransfer() into StartDebugTransfer(), and
CheckDebugTransfer() accordingly, and also added a CancelDebugTransfer().
The latter seems to have issues. Michael, please have a look. I have no clue
what I'm doing. :-)
* Adjusted kgetc() to poll all possible inputs using the new
functions/semantics. This allows to use any input (USB, PS/2, serial) in KDL.
* Removed the no longer needed "serial_input" command.
* read_line(): Also support 0x7f as backspace code. That's what xterm sends.

Added blue_screen_paging_enabled() and blue_screen_set_paging() to get/set
pagination mode.

Ctrl-L clears the KDL screen.

panic() could hang in the early boot process in case it was called before
the blue screen was initialized - blue_screen_enter() now returns wether
or not it has been initialized already (there will only be serial output
in that case).


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@22491 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

Implemented on screen debug output during boot - to be enabled in the boot loader
safemode menu.

Removed debug/console.c, we no longer need it. frame_buffer_console_init() is now
called by debug_init_post_vm().
Since the availability of a blue screen specific getchar() is static anyway, there
is no need for the sBlueScreenGetChar variable (only the message "only serial input
available" gets lost, but since that is platform specific anyway...).
Hello blue screen! We now have an on-screen KDL, to be enabled by the kernel
setting "bluescreen", just like on BeOS.
The blue screen does not yet support any cursor actions or backspace, though (need
to grab some stuff from our console driver).
