For vidconsole_post_probe(), it is common coding style to let a
probe method return the value of a register function.
The others will become simple wrapper functions.

This helps keep the display consistent. puts() is used when printing the
prompt, so is a useful way to make sure the current display contents is
visible.

With proportional fonts the vidconsole uclass cannot itself erase the
previous character. Provide an optional method so that the driver can
handle this operation.

When we start a new line (due to the user pressing return), signal this to
the driver so that it can flush its buffer of character positions.

Allow the left margin to be set so that text does not have to be right up
against the left side. On some panels this makes it hard to read.

This can be sent when to many characters are entered. Make sure it is
ignored and does not cause a character to be displayed.

With anti-aliased fonts we need a more fine-grained horizontal position
than a single pixel. Characters can be positioned to start part-way through
a pixel, with anti-aliasing (greyscale edges) taking care of the visual
effect.
To cope with this, use fractional units (1/256 pixel) for horizontal
positions in the text console.

We must use the console name in the 'stdout' variable to select the one
we want. At present the name is formed from the driver name with a suffix
indicating the rotation value.
It seems better to name them sequentially since this can be controlled by
driver order. So adjust the code to use 'vidconsole' for the first,
'vidconsole1' for the second, etc.

The existing LCD/video interface suffers from conflating the bitmap display
with text output on that display. As a result the implementation is more
complex than it needs to me.
We can support multiple text console drivers. Create a separate uclass to
support this, with its own API.
