Calculate font size from 16 density independent pixels (dp) by using:
size = 16 * ppi/160 * display_factor
We are specifying font size 16dp, and assuming 1dp = 160ppi.
Also apply scaling factor 2 (display_factor).

Some systems may provide multiple GOP instances and not all are
bound to hardware. The current loader is picking up the first GOP,
which may not be usable. Instead we load the GOP handle array,
and test every handle to have registered ConOut protocol. If ConOut is
present, we can use this GOP handle to open GOP protocol.
Pass gfx_state to efi_find_framebuffer(), so we can pick between
GOP and UGA in efi_find_framebuffer(), also we can then
set up struct gen_fb in gfx_state from efifb and isolate efi fb data
processing into framebuffer.c.
This change does allow us to clean up efi_cons_init() and reduce
BS->LocateProtocol() calls.
A little downside is that we now need to translate gen_fb back to
efifb in bootinfo.c (for passing to kernel), and we need to add few
-I options to CFLAGS.
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...

The HandleProtocol() is deprecated interface and we should use OpenProtocol()
instead. Moreover, in some firmware implementation(s), the HandleProtocol()
does return device path using static storage, so we can not keep the value
returned there. With same firmware, the OpenProtocol() does return data we
do not need to clone.

efi-autoresizecons is currently executed for every boot. If it fails, we
risk failing the boot, and we really shouldn't do that unless we absolutely
must.
Not being able to locate GOP or UGA is not a significant enough failure to
kill the boot. We always have the option to fall back to resizing ConOut to
a higher text mode resolution (if available), so do that.
This was detected by Doug [1] while attempting a bhyve + UEFI + PXE boot.
This patch was effectively also submitted by Doug, but I expanded the
comment he had originally sent me a little bit to indicate why this is an OK
idea.

- We should be setting a known graphics mode on conout, but we aren't.
- We shouldn't be setting gop mode if we didn't find a good resolution to
set, but we were. This made efi_max_resolution=1x1 effectively worthless,
since it would always set gop mode 0 if nothing else.
UGA does not have the same kind of mode enumeration that GOP does. Implement
it instead as a call to text_autoresize so that firmwares with only UGA
present still get some kind of autoresizing behavior.
While here, rename a typo'd "gop" to "uga", although it will remain unused
for the time being.
Not all systems use efifb; pull hw.vga.textmode and choose a good console
mode instead if it's set to something non-zero. This is basically a revival
of the code that used to live in boot1, but instead rebased onto this
different way of doing mode selection in loader.efi.
Interestingly enough, the regression that was previously introduced where
GOP would not reflect the console setting does not seem to exist when
console mode selection is done here. I've not done any investigation as to
why this is the case. Nevertheless, boot1.efi is still not the best place to
do mode selection.
Default the max resolution to 1080p, we'll accept Width x Height
specifications along with the following presets:
- 480p
- 720p
- 1080p
- 2160p or 4k
- 5k

boot1 is too early to be deciding a good resolution. Console modes don't map
cleanly/predictably to actual screen resolutions, and GOP does not reflect
the actual screen resolution after a console mode change. Rip it out.
Add an efi-autoresizecons command to loader to choose an optimal screen
resolution based on the current environment. We'll explicitly execute this
later, preferably before we draw anything of value but after we load config
and pick up any tunables we may need to decide where we're going.
This method also allows us to actually pass the correct framebuffer
information on to the kernel.
UGA autoresizing is not implemented because it doesn't have the kind of mode
enumeration that GOP does. If an interested person with relevant hardware
could get in contact, we can take a look at implementing UGA autoresize.
This effectively "fixes" the breakage caused by r327058, but doesn't
actually set the resolution correctly until the interpreter calls
efi-autoresizcons. The lualoader version of this has been included for
reference; the forth equivalent will follow.
