[metal] Add a uprintf() routine, for non-emergency boot logging (#905)
* [metal] Add a uprintf() routine, for non-emergency boot logging
* [metal] _Really_ push forward timing of VGA TTY initialization
* [metal] Do something useful with uprintf()
* [metal] Locate some ACPI tables, for later hardware detection

Specifically the code now tries to find the ACPI RSDP,
RSDT/XSDT, FADT, & MADT tables, whether in legacy BIOS
bootup mode or in a UEFI bootup.  These are useful for
figuring out how to (re)enable asynchronous interrupts
in legacy 8259 PIC mode.
