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)

* On some systems, switching the resolution in VESA mode during
runtime did not work and gave a "General System Error".
Jan Kloetzke provided a temporary work around, the area
which the BIOS can access is enlarged, although according to
specs, this should not be needed.
* After switching modes in the VESA driver, turn on write
combining for the frame buffer area. This gives a huge speed
boost for all graphics drawing. Only people for which mode
changes did not work were using the full speed since the
VESA mode switching support was added.
* Cleanup in the Jamfile, some header directories were included
multiple times.

* The boot loader now passes on its EDID info to the kernel, and that will
be put into a boot_item in frame_buffer_console_init().
* The VESA driver now supports gettings the EDID information as well; this
is necessary now, since the app_server no longer takes over the mode the
boot loader had chosen.
* Note, we might want to do this via vm86 instead in the future, and remove
the kernel part again.

* Moved VGA planar mode blitting into the VESA kernel driver.
* In grayscale mode, the AccelerantHWInterface now sets the palette correctly.
* HWInterface now has a fVGADevice set by AccelerantHWInterface which will be used
to talk to the VESA driver.
* Completed planar blitting for all 4 planes; we now have a perfect 16 color
grayscale mode when you choose "Standard VGA mode" in the boot loader with
an unsupported graphics card (such as in Qemu).

KernelAddon and KernelStaticLibrary don't include kernel, kernel arch, boot platform headers anymore.
Fixed the build of most of targets using these rules. Though the build can be still broken, feel free to fix.

Added very basic VESA driver. Will be improved in the future (right now
it doesn't really do anything, it just passes the initial frame buffer
on to the app_server).
While it seems to work on real hardware (if you set the video mode to
640x480x32, app_server restriction), under Bochs, the app_server crashes.
