If we're running with a hidden menu we may never need text mode, so do not
change the video-mode to text until we actually need it.
This allows to boot a machine without unnecessary graphical transitions and
provide a seamless boot experience to users.

Implement getkeystatus() support in the EFI console driver.
This is needed because the logic to determine if a key was pressed to make
the menu countdown stop will be changed by a later patch to also take into
account the SHIFT key being held down.
For this reason the EFI console driver has to support getkeystatus() to
allow detecting that event.
Note that if a non-modifier key gets pressed and repeated calls to
getkeystatus() are made then it will return the modifier status at the
time of the non-modifier key, until that key-press gets consumed by a
getkey() call.
This is a side-effect of how the EFI simple-text-input protocol works
and cannot be avoided.

This is a preparatory patch for adding getkeystatus() support to the
EFI console driver.
We can get modifier status through the simple_text_input read_key_stroke()
method, but if a non-modifier key is (also) pressed the read_key_stroke()
call will consume that key from the firmware's queue.
The new grub_console_read_key_stroke() helper buffers upto 1 key-stroke.
If it has a non-modifier key buffered, it will return that one, if its
buffer is empty, it will fills its buffer by getting a new key-stroke.
If called with consume=1 it will empty its buffer after copying the
key-data to the callers buffer, this is how getkey() will use it.
If called with consume=0 it will keep the last key-stroke buffered, this
is how getkeystatus() will call it. This means that if a non-modifier
key gets pressed, repeated getkeystatus() calls will return the modifiers
of that key-press until it is consumed by a getkey() call.

This is just a preparatory patch to move the functions higher in the file,
since these will be called by the grub_prepare_for_text_output() function
that will be introduced in a later patch.
The logic is unchanged by this patch. Functions definitions are just moved
to avoid a forward declaration in a later patch, keeping the code clean.

Most 8" or 7" x86 Windows 10 tablets come with volume up/down buttons and
a power-button. In their UEFI these are almost always mapped to arrow
up/down and enter.
Pressing the volume buttons (sometimes by accident) will stop the
menu countdown, but the power-button / "enter" key was not being recognized
as enter, so the user would be stuck at the grub menu.
The problem is that these tablets send scan_code 13 or 0x0d for the
power-button, which officialy maps to the F3 key. They also set
unicode_char to 0x0d.
This commit recognizes the special case of both scan_code and unicode_char
being set to 0x0d and treats this as an enter key press.
This fixes things getting stuck at the grub-menu and allows the user
to choice a grub-menu entry using the buttons on the tablet.
