cbgfx: Use memset() for faster screen clearing if possible

cbgfx currently makes a separate function call (recomputing some values)
    for every single pixel it draws. While we mostly don't care that much
    about display speed, this can become an issue if you're trying to paint
    the whole screen white on a lowly-clocked Cortex-A53. As a simple
    solution for these extreme cases, we can build a fast path into
    clear_screen() that just memset()s the whole framebuffer if the color
    and pixel format allow it.

BUG=chrome-os-partner:54416
    TEST=Screen drawing speed on Kevin visibly improves (from 2.5s to 3ms).
