video: Add helpers for decoding screen_info

[ Upstream commit 75fa9b7e375e35739663cde0252d31e586c6314a ]

The plain values as stored in struct screen_info need to be decoded
before being used. Add helpers that decode the type of video output
and the framebuffer I/O aperture.

Old or non-x86 systems may not set the type of video directly, but
only indicate the presence by storing 0x01 in orig_video_isVGA. The
decoding logic in screen_info_video_type() takes this into account.
It then follows similar code in vgacon's vgacon_startup() to detect
the video type from the given values.

A call to screen_info_resources() returns all known resources of the
given screen_info. The resources' values have been taken from existing
code in vgacon and vga16fb. These drivers can later be converted to
use the new interfaces.

v2:
* return ssize_t from screen_info_resources()
* don't call __screen_info_has_lfb() unnecessarily
