video: Add information about using TrueType fonts

U-Boot supports using TrueType fonts on the console, which is useful for
presenting a nice UI to users, e.g. for system recovery.

Add information about how to compile this on ARM platforms, since this is
not obvious.

SPDX: Convert all of our single license tags to Linux Kernel style

When U-Boot started using SPDX tags we were among the early adopters and
there weren't a lot of other examples to borrow from. So we picked the
area of the file that usually had a full license text and replaced it
with an appropriate SPDX-License-Identifier: entry. Since then, the
Linux Kernel has adopted SPDX tags and they place it as the very first
line in a file (except where shebangs are used, then it's second line)
and with slightly different comment styles than us.

In part due to community overlap, in part due to better tag visibility
and in part for other minor reasons, switch over to that style.

This commit changes all instances where we have a single declared
license in the tag as both the before and after are identical in tag
contents. There's also a few places where I found we did not have a tag
and have introduced one.

sunxi: display: Add overscan correction

Add support for making the visual area of the framebuffer smaller and
drawing a black border around it. This is intended for use with
overscanning monitors (esp. with composite video out), to avoid part
of the picture being invisible.

sunxi: video: Add a hpd_delay parameter to configure hpd delay

In some extreme cases it may be necessary to wait 1.5 seconds or more for a hpd
signal to show up (and be able to read edid info), but we do not want to
penalize all headless boots with an extra second boot delay, so add a hpd_delay
parameter which can be set through the video-mode env. variable.

While at it raise the default from 300ms to 500ms as 300 may very well be too
low in many cases.

Big white-space cleanup.

This commit gets rid of a huge amount of silly white-space issues.
Especially, all sequences of SPACEs followed by TAB characters get
removed (unless they appear in print statements).

Also remove all embedded "vim:" and "vi:" statements which hide
indentation problems.
