tty: Clean console safely
Traditional \E[2J sequence erases console display but scroll-back
buffer and underlying device (frame) buffer keep data that can be
accessed by scrolling console back.
This patch introduce new \E[J parameter 3 that allows to scramble
scroll-back buffer explicitly. Session locking programs (screen,
vlock) can use it to prevent attacker to browse locked console
history.
