vga: add some optional CGA compatibility hacks
This patch adds some optional compatibility hacks (default disabled) to allow Microport UNIX to function under qemu. I've tried to structure it to be easy to add more hacks for other old CGA programs, if anyone ever needs them. Microport UNIX System V/386 v 2.1 (ca 1987) tries to program the CGA registers directly with neither the assistance of BIOS, nor with proper handling of EGA/VGA-only registers. Note that it didn't work on real VGA hardware, either (although in that case, the most obvious problems seemed to be out-of-range hsync and/or vsync signalling, rather than the issues in this patch). Eventually real MDA and/or CGA support might provide an alternative to this patch, although a hybrid approach like this patch might still be useful in marginal cases.
