We don't need to call dcons_poll event handlers if KDB is not active.

- Don't force to be the GDB port since dcons(4) is in GENERIC now.

To enable the GDB port of dcons(4), you need to put
dcons_gdb=1
in /boot/loader.conf.

Don't invalidate dcons buffer on shutdown.
We would like to keep connection after halt.

Replace breakpoint() with kdb_enter().

Poll bus resets on FireWire while kdb/gdb is active.

Now, it's safe to call the fwohci interrupt(polling) routine while ddb/gdb
is active. After this change, a dcons connnection over FireWire can survive
bus resets even in kernel debugger.

This means that it is not too late to plug a FireWire cable after a panic
to investigate the problem.

Actually there is a small window(between a jump to kernel from loader and
initialization of dcons_crom) in which no one can take care of a bus reset.
Except that window, firewire console should keep working
from loader to reboot even with a panic and a bus reset.
(as far as you enable LOADER_FIREWIRE_SUPPORT)

We should better ignore a break on gdb port if gdb is not enabled.

Make compile without GDB option.

Convert to new console interface.

Eliminate gdb_checkc member from GDB_DBGPORT(), it is never used.

Use polling behaviour for gdb_getc() where convenient, this edges us
closer to the console code.

Use ttyalloc() instead of ttymalloc()

Fix -Wundef warnings found when compiling i386 LINT, GENERIC and
custom kernels.

Make ttyconsolemode() call ttsetwater() so that drivers don't have to.

- Use quad_t for dcons buffer address and size.
- Allow read/write access to dcons buffer passed by loader(8).

Add new function ttyinitmode() which sets our systemwide default
modes on a tty structure.

Both the ".init" and the current settings are initialized allowing
the function to be used both at attach and open time.

The function takes an argument to decide if echoing should be enabled.
Echoing should not be enabled for regular physical serial ports
unless they are consoles, in which case they should be configured
by ttyconsolemode() instead.

Use the new function throughout.
