The magic basic colour can be remapped at runtime from COLOR_NORMAL_BG
(usually blue) to COLOR_DEFAULT (which will be transparent as a
background colour on the framebuffer console).

[console] Add centralised concept of colours and colour pairs
Add a centralised concept of colours and colour pairs (using the
default colour pairs as configured via config/colour.h). A colour
pair consists of a pair of colour indices.
Add the ability to redefine both a colour pair and an individual
colour index, with minimal overhead if this feature is not required
(e.g. because the relevant shell commands are not present in the
build).

[console] Allow consoles to update the recorded console size
Provide a mechanism for consoles to update the recorded console width
and height, and use this width and height to provide the curses COLS
and LINES variables.
We choose not to use ANSI escape sequences to obtain the width and
height, for two reasons:
- iPXE's model is that all output is sent to all consoles; we could
therefore end up with multiple consoles reporting conflicting widths
and heights
- when a serial console is in use, we probably don't want to resize
the output shown on the BIOS console to match the size of the serial
console, since it's likely that the serial console is in use only
for debugging.

[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:
size_64k = (Bit16u)((Bit32u)cur_info->info.XResolution *
cur_info->info.XResolution *
cur_info->info.BitsPerPixel) >> 19;
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.)

[settings] Allow for multiple definitions of each predefined setting
Allow for multiple setting definitions with the same name but
different scopes and tags. For example, allow for a "filename"
setting with default scope and tag value 67 (for DHCPv4) and a
corresponding "filename" setting with IPv6 scope and tag value 59 (for
DHCPv6).

Note that IANA has not yet assigned a DHCPv6 option code for the
syslog server. When a code is assigned, the definition of
DHCPV6_LOG_SERVERS should be updated. Until then, an IPv6 address of
a syslog server can be configured manually using e.g.
set syslog6 3ffe:302:11:2::8309

[settings] Allow for IPv6 setting types in non-IPv6 builds
Allow for the existence of references to IPv6 setting types without

for parse_ipv6_setting() and format_ipv6_setting().

[settings] Explicitly separate the concept of a completed fetched setting
The fetch_setting() family of functions may currently modify the

information). Clean up this interface by requiring callers to provide
an explicit buffer to contain the completed definition of the fetched
setting, if required.

[console] Allow '?' as an intermediate byte in ANSI escape sequences
The ANSI escape sequences to show and hide the cursor take the form

intermediate byte.

[vesafb] Select an optimal mode, rather than the first acceptable mode
There is no requirement for VBE modes to be listed in increasing order
of resolution. With the present logic, this can cause e.g. a 1024x768
mode to be selected if the user asks for 640x480, if the 1024x768 mode
is earlier in the mode list.
Define a scoring system for modes as
score = ( width * height - bpp )
and choose the mode with the lowest score among all acceptable modes.
This should prefer to choose the mode closest to the requested
resolution, with a slight preference for higher colour depths.

The VESA frame buffer console uses the VESA BIOS extensions (VBE) to

to the generic frame buffer code.
