coreinfo: Rewrite bootlog_module
The old bootlog_module implementation was completely broken: - It assumed that the console buffer is located at address 0x90000, and of size 64K. It is not correct nowadays. - It displayed the buffer in a very hacky way, the code was riddled with TODOs and FIXMEs. Scrolling had sometimes unexpected behavior.
The new implementation: - Uses the cbmem console as the source of data. It takes the console information from lib_sysinfo of libpayload, which is constructed from the coreboot tables (no more hardcoded adressess). - Properly sanitizes the console buffer for display, which makes scolling and display much easier to implement.
