graphics: Implement handoff from vesad to virtio-gpud

bjorn3 requested to merge bjorn3/drivers:graphics_handover into master

With this virtio-gpud no longer has to support getting deactivated at any time to hand back control to vesad. This makes it much easier to add many new features that a proper graphics driver is supposed to support.

Be aware that virtio-gpud waits for the vsync on every flush request. Fbcond and orbital are not really happy about this right now and when something changes multiple times within a single frame, flush requests queue up, causing the ui to hang until all flush requests are finished. It is still possible to switch to another VT though which won't hang.

Part of redox#1428
