Add VESA mode support for syscons, which enables the support of 15, 16,

Do not return EINVAL when the mouse state is changed to what it already is,

Teach vidcontrol(8) about mode names like MODE_<NUMBER>, where <NUMBER> is
the video mode number from the vidcontrol -i mode output. Also, revert the
video mode if something fails.

Add an -S option that allows the user to disable vty switching. It is
implemented using a new VT_LOCKSWITCH ioctl. Although it is possible
to implement something like this by VT_SETMODEing to VT_PROCESS and
never releasing the vty, that method has a number of downsides, the
biggest of which is that some program has to stay resident for the
lock to be in effect.

- prevent buffer overflow (and coredump as a result ) when loading valid
