[vesafb] Allow for an arbitrary margin around the text area
Allow for an arbitrary margin to be specified in the console
configuration. If the actual screen size does not match the requested
screen size, then update any margins specified so that they remain in
the same place relative to the requested screen size. If margins are
unspecified (i.e. zero), then leave them as zero.
The underlying assumption here is that any specified margins are
likely to describe an area within a background picture, and so should
remain in the same place relative to that background picture.

[fbcon] Centre background picture on console
Centre the background picture on the console, to give a more
consistent result when the aspect ratio does not match the requested
width and height.
Once drawn for the first time, nothing should ever overwrite the
margins of the display. We can therefore eliminate the logic used to
redraw only the margin areas, and use much simpler code to draw the
complete initial background image.
Simplify the redrawing logic further by making the background picture
buffer equal in size to the frame buffer. In the common case of a
background picture which is designed to fill the screen, this wastes
no extra memory, and the combined code simplifications reduce the size
of fbcon.o by approximately 15%.
Redefine the concept of "margin" to match the intuitive definition
(i.e. the size of the gap, rather than the position of the boundary
line).

- iPXE's model is that all output is sent to all consoles; we could
therefore end up with multiple consoles reporting conflicting widths

[vesafb] Work around data corruption bug in bochs/qemu VBE implementation
The vgabios used by bochs and qemu (and other virtualisation products)
has a bug in its implementation of INT 10,4f00 which causes the high
16 bits of %ebx and %edx to become corrupted.
The vgabios code uses a "pushaw"/"popaw" pair to preserve the low 16
bits of all non-segment registers. The vgabios code is compiled using
bcc, which generates 8086-compatible code and so never touches the
high 16 bits of the 32-bit registers. However, the function
vbe_biosfn_return_controller_information() includes the line:
which generates an implicit call to the "lmulul" function. This
function is implemented in vbe.c as:
; helper function for memory size calculation
lmulul:
and eax, #0x0000FFFF
shl ebx, #16
or eax, ebx
SEG SS
mul eax, dword ptr [di]
mov ebx, eax
shr ebx, #16
ret
which modifies %eax, %ebx, and %edx (as a result of the "mul"
instruction, which places its result into %edx:%eax).
Work around this problem by marking %ebx and %edx as being clobbered
by the call to INT 10,4f00. (%eax is already used as an output
register, so does not need to be on the clobber list.)
