The swcursor used a 32x32 image for saving/restoring
screen contents for no reason.
Add a doflush argument to swcursorhide(), so that
disabling software cursor with a double buffered
softscreen is properly hidden. The doflush parameter
should be set to 0 in all other cases as swcursordraw()
will flushes both (current and previours) locations.
Make sure swcursorinit() and swcursorhide() clear the
visibility flag, even when gscreen is nil.
Remove the cursor locking and just do everything within
the drawlock. All cursor functions such as curson(),
cursoff() and setcursor() will be called drawlock
locked. This also means &cursor can be read.
Fix devmouse cursor reads and writes. We now have the
global cursor variable that is only modified under
the drawlock. So copy under drawlock.
Move the pc software cursor implementation into vgasoft
driver, so screen.c does not need to handle it as
a special case.
Remove unused functions such as drawhasclients().

Memdata*
all screen implementations use a Memimage* internally
for the framebuffer, so we can return a shared reference
to its Memdata structure in attachscreen() instead of
a framebuffer data pointer.
this eleminates the softscreen == 0xa110c hack as we
always use shared Memdata* now.

devmouse controls the screen blanking timeout, so move the
code there avoiding cross calls between modules. the only
function that needs to be provided is blankscreen(), which
gets called with drawlock locked.
the blank timeout is set thru /dev/mousectl now, so kernels
without devvga can set it.
blanking now only happens while /dev/mouse is read. so this
avoids accidentally blanking the screen on cpu servers that
do not have a mouse to unblank it.

the software cursor starts flickering and reacts bumby if a process
spends most of its time with drawlock acquired because the timer interrupt
thats supposed to redraw the cursor fails to acquire the lock at the time
the timer fires.
instead of trying to draw the cursor on the screen from a timer interrupt
30 times per second, devmouse now creates a process calling cursoron() and
cursoroff() when the cursor needs to be redrawn. this allows the swcursor
to schedule a redraw while holding the drawlock in swcursoravoid() and
cursoron()/cursoroff() are now able to wait for a qlock (drawlock) because
they get called from process context.
the overall responsiveness is also improved with this change as the cursor
redraw rate isnt limited to 30 times a second anymore.
