Kernel: Drop support of GRUB VBE modesetting

Browse source 
We used GRUB to modeset the resolution for a long time, but for good
reasons I see no point with keeping it supported in our kernel. We
support bochs-display device on QEMU (both the VGA compatible and
non-VGA compatible variants), so for QEMU we can still boot the system
in graphical mode even without GRUB help.

Also, we now have a native driver for Intel graphics and although it
doesn't support most Intel graphics cards out there yet, it's a good
starting point to support more cards. If a user wants to boot on
bare-metal in graphical mode, all he needs to do is to add the removed
flag back again, as the kernel still supports pre-set framebuffers.
