5508f10ac9 video: Handle the 'bell' character
This can be sent when to many characters are entered. Make sure it is
ignored and does not cause a character to be displayed.

f266178698 video: Use fractional units for X coordinates
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.

f1a1247d89 video: Name consoles by their number
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.

83510766c9 dm: video: Add a uclass for 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.
