Description

The current loader screen output depends on console code to write on all active consoles. This approach is flawed as we can not use device specific features and this makes menu screen to look rather bad.

Add console device iterator and draw logo, brand and menu frame using device specific features - images for framebuffer console and ascii art on serial console.
Add term-putimage word to draw images using terminal coordinates.
Add illumos-brand.png and rename illumos.png to illumos-logo.png. Brand and logo codes are provided as templates to help to create distribution specific versions.

Testing done: visual inspection of single and dual/multi console menu screen.
