Partially implement the mysterious cons25 \e[x escape sequence.
It seems the terminfo library on some systems (OS X, Linux) may emit the sequence \e[x to reset to default attributes. Apart from using the zero-command, this escape sequence allows many more operations, such as setting ANSI colors. I don't see this used anywhere, so this should be sufficient for now.
This deficiency was spotted by the Debian GNU/kFreeBSD. They have their own patch, which is slightly flawed in my opinion. I don't know why they never reported this issue to us.

Discard Device Control Strings and Operating System Commands.
These strings often contain things like:
- Window titles. - Extended key map functionality. - Color palette switching.
We could look at these features in the future (if people consider them to be important enough), but we'd better discard them now. This fixes some artifacts people reported when using TERM=xterm.

Add a new escape sequence to switch between cons25 and xterm.
Just run this to switch to xterm:
printf '\e[=T'
If you get bored and want to switch back to cons25, run this:
printf '\e[=1T'
I can now send an email to the lists, asking whether people are interested in trying the xterm emulator.

Move libteken out of the syscons directory.
I initially committed libteken to sys/dev/syscons/teken, but now that I'm working on a console driver myself, I noticed this was not a good decision. Move it to sys/teken to make it easier for other drivers to use a terminal emulator.
Also list teken.c in sys/conf/files, instead of listing it in all the files.arch files separately.

Restore support for bell pitch/duration.
Because we only support a single argument to tf_param, use 16 bits for the pitch and 16 bits for the duration. While there, make the argument unsigned. There isn't a single param call that needs a signed integer.

Properly implement the VT100 SCS sequences in xterm-mode.
Even though VT100-like devices can display non-ASCII characters, they do not use an 8-bit character set. Special escape sequences allow the VT100 to switch character maps. The special graphics character set stores the box drawing characters, starting at 0x60, ending at 0x7e. This means we now pass the character map tests in vttest, even the save/restore cursor test, combined with character maps. dialog(1) also works a lot better now.
This commit also includes some other minor fixes:
- Default to 24 lines in teken_demo when using xterm emulation. - Make white foreground and background work in teken_demo.

Make vidcontrol's color setting work again.
It turns out I forgot to implement two escape sequences that allows the user to change the default foreground and background colors. I thought they were implemented by syscons itself, but vidcontrol just generates some escape sequences, which get interpreted by the terminal emulator.

Replace syscons terminal renderer by a new renderer that uses libteken.
Some time ago I started working on a library called libteken, which is terminal emulator. It does not buffer any screen contents, but only keeps terminal state, such as cursor position, attributes, etc. It should implement all escape sequences that are implemented by the cons25 terminal emulator, but also a fair amount of sequences that are present in VT100 and xterm.
A lot of random notes, which could be of interest to users/developers:
- Even though I'm leaving the terminal type set to `cons25', users can do experiments with placing `xterm-color' in /etc/ttys. Because we only implement a subset of features of xterm, this may cause artifacts. We should consider extending libteken, because in my opinion xterm is the way to go. Some missing features:
- Keypad application mode (DECKPAM) - Character sets (SCS)
- libteken is filled with a fair amount of assertions, but unfortunately we cannot go into the debugger anymore if we fail them. I've done development of this library almost entirely in userspace. In sys/dev/syscons/teken there are two applications that can be helpful when debugging the code:
- teken_demo: a terminal emulator that can be started from a regular xterm that emulates a terminal using libteken. This application can be very useful to debug any rendering issues.
- teken_stress: a stress testing application that emulates random terminal output. libteken has literally survived multiple terabytes of random input.
- libteken also includes support for UTF-8, but unfortunately our input layer and font renderer don't support this. If users want to experiment with UTF-8 support, they can enable `TEKEN_UTF8' in teken.h. If you recompile your kernel or the teken_demo application, you can hold some nice experiments.
- I've left PC98 the way it is right now. The PC98 platform has a custom syscons renderer, which supports some form of localised input. Maybe we should port PC98 to libteken by the time syscons supports UTF-8?
- I've removed the `dumb' terminal emulator. It has been broken for years. It hasn't survived the `struct proc' -> `struct thread' conversion.
- To prevent confusion among people that want to hack on libteken: unlike syscons, the state machines that parse the escape sequences are machine generated. This means that if you want to add new escape sequences, you have to add an entry to the `sequences' file. This will cause new entries to be added to `teken_state.h'.
- Any rendering artifacts that didn't occur prior to this commit are by accident. They should be reported to me, so I can fix them.
