Kernel: Separate framebuffers from bootmode

Browse source 
Bootmode used to control framebuffers, panic behavior, and SystemServer.
This patch factors framebuffer control into a separate flag.
Note that the combination 'bootmode=self-test fbdev=on' leads to
unexpected behavior, which can only be fixed in a later commit.

You can force capable multiboot bootloaders to boot Serenity into high resolution mode by editing **Kernel/Arch/i386/Boot/boot.S** and
adding **| MULTIBOOT_VIDEO_MODE** to the end of the **multiboot_flags** before building Serenity.
Setting a boot argument of `boot_mode=no-fbdev` will force the kernel to not initialize any framebuffer devices, hence allowing the system
Setting a boot argument of `fbdev=off` will force the kernel to not initialize any framebuffer devices, hence allowing the system
to boot into console-only mode as `SystemServer` will detect this condition and will not initialize `WindowServer`.
