Really just the subset that is needed by efi_console. Perhaps more will
be added later, for example color support would be useful to implement
efi_cout_set_attribute().

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.

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.

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.
