MFC vt(4) driver for Sun creator(4) framebuffers

Description

MFC vt(4) driver for Sun creator(4) framebuffers

r269601 (nwhitehorn):

Add a simple unaccelerated vt(4) framebuffer driver for Sun
framebuffers handled by creator(4) (Sun Creator 3D, Elite 3D, etc.).
This provides vt(4) consoles on all devices currently supported by
syscons on sparc64.  The driver should also be easily adaptable to
support newer Sun framebuffers such as the XVR-500 and higher.

Many thanks to dumbbell@ (Jean-Sebastien Pedron) for testing this
remotely during development.

vt(4): Colors are indexed against a console palette, not a VGA palette
