Description

Some systems may provide multiple GOP instances and not all are bound to hardware. The current loader is picking up the first GOP, which may not be usable. Instead we load the GOP handle array, and test every handle to have registered ConOut protocol. If ConOut is present, we can use this GOP handle to open GOP protocol.

Testing done: main testing was done by FreeBSD users encountering the issue where console was not being drawn and remained black. Also tested on my own systems.
