[Buildroot] package: add kmscon

[Buildroot] package: add kmscon

[qblade]

I added two packages, libtsm is a dependent library of kmscon.

kmscon does better than fbterm in 256color.

Multiple font engine support of kmscon will be added later, currently only unifont is supported.

I tested it on the following platforms and it works fine

x86_64 glibc musl uclibc
aarch64 glibc musl uclibc
i386 glibc musl uclibc

Thanks a lot for your contribution! Could you use "git send-email" to
send your patches, so that each patch is a separate e-mail on the
mailing list, and we can do proper review on them ?

Thanks a lot!

The sad thing is that I am using a free email service, which does not provide smtp service for free users. I can only send emails through the web version. Is there really no other way to send patches?

You could try sending one patch per email:

 1. Be sure your commit are complete: titile, commit log, authorship and
    your Signed-off-by line, see:
        https://buildroot.org/downloads/manual/manual.html#submitting-patches

 2. prepare your patches with git format-patch

 3. send the first patch as attachment to the first mail, then the
    second patch as attachment to the second mail; make the mail subject
    (and body?) duplicate the commit title and commit log.

If all goes well, your patches should popup after a little while on the
list of pending ptches:
    https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/buildroot/list/

Yann E. MORIN.
