kmscon_console_newline() can be used to produce a newline. Writing \n doesn't
work as this would write \n as character into the cell and not produce a
newline.
The console does not perform any parsing so we provide a separate function.

Remove the *_set_res() function entirely. Instead, the *_resize() function now
accepts a height argument which is used as quality hint. Internally, we compute
the texture width by the selected font plus the given height. This simplifies
the API and the internal handling and improves output on non-standard
resolutions or with non-standard fonts.
Until now it was only optimized for my 16x9 output but 5x4 output was quite
garbled.

We shouldn't do anything if buffer_resize is called with the same size. This

Our scrollback buffer needs to adjust the current position when being resized or
when a new line is pushed.

Unless we benchmark the buffer implementation we shouldn't implement
speedup-hacks. Therefore, remove the buffer-cache and look how it works out.

Add two functions to enter/leave our VT object. This allows to
implement to expected behavior of automatically switching to the kmscon
when it is running on a new tty, and switching back to the tty we came
from when the program finishes. Presumably this behavior will be
controlled by a config variable or command line argument later on (like
Xorg's -novtswitch).
There's a bit of a subtlety in this because of VT_PROCESS. We need
permission from ourselves to switch in/out of out VT; this is done when
processing SIGUSR[12] in the eloop. We therefore must dispatch the loop
at least once after switching out. The usual case is demonstrated in
test_vt.c.

We currently use the first mode in the list if no mode is explicitely specified
by the caller. However, this is most often the lowest available resolution
reported by the kernel.
This patch adds a new pointer to every output which remembers a sane default.
This is currently the first mode reported by the kernel but may later be
optimized to choose a better default mode.

The crtc is saved from kmscon_output_activate, and restored from
kmscon_output_deactivate.
This means that when the program exits, the screen is back to what it

This commit adds basic autoconf + automake files to build the project.
It also adds a main.c stub in order to simulate the main binary.
The configure script uses pkg-config to find the libraries. The usual
stuff should work. The only additional option right now is:
./configure --enable-debug [To enable debugging symbols]
The Makefile should also support the standard stuff:
make [To build the kmscon binary]
make check [To build the test_* binaries]
make dist [To create a tarball]
make clean
make install
etc.
To start from a clean tree (e.g. git clean -dfx), do something like the
following:
./autogen.sh
./configure --enable-debug CFLAGS=-O0
make
It all should work well enough for now.
