Draw console on efi.
Add vbe framebuffer for BIOS loader (vbe off, vbe on, vbe list,
vbe set xxx).
autoload font (/boot/fonts) based on resolution and font size.
Add command loadfont (set font by file) and
variable screen.font (set font by size). Pass loaded font to kernel.
Export variables:
screen.height
screen.width
screen.depth
Add gfx primitives to draw the screen and put png image on the screen.
Rework menu draw to iterate list of consoles to enamble device specific
output.
Probably something else I forgot...

It's not uncommon these days for the terminals attached to serial consoles
to support ANSI escape sequences. However, we assume escape sequences may
break some serial consoles and default to not using them when boot_serial or
boot_multicons (or if console contains "comconsole" in the forth loader) for
broader compatibility. We also have loader_color which can be explicitly set
to "NO" to disable the use of ANSI escape sequences.
The problem is that loader_color=YES gets ignored when boot_serial=YES or
boot_multicons=YES (or when console contains "comconsole" in the forth
loader).
To fix, the existing default behavior remains unchanged when loader_color is
unset, loader_color=NO explicitly disables the use of ANSI escape sequences
still, and the change is that loader_color=YES can now be used to explicitly
allow ANSI escapes when a serial console is enabled.
