47c1a31f89 Kernel: Support new lines when doing critical printing
If we are printing strings in the critical path, handling new lines
require us to break abstraction a bit to print new lines.

Fixes #7562.

e8d85b0694 Kernel/Graphics: Remove unused overloaded write methods of Console
If we happen to print a string, we could use a StringView instead. For
now, let's remove them entirely.

20743e8aed Kernel/Graphics + SystemServer: Support text mode properly
As we removed the support of VBE modesetting that was done by GRUB early
on boot, we need to determine if we can modeset the resolution with our
drivers, and if not, we should enable text mode and ensure that
SystemServer knows about it too.

Also, SystemServer should first check if there's a framebuffer device
node, which is an indication that text mode was not even if it was
requested. Then, if it doesn't find it, it should check what boot_mode
argument the user specified (in case it's self-test). This way if we
try to use bochs-display device (which is not VGA compatible) and
request a text mode, it will not honor the request and will continue
with graphical mode.

Also try to print critical messages with mininum memory allocations
possible.

In LibVT, We make the implementation flexible for kernel-specific
methods that are implemented in ConsoleImpl class.
