Subject: [PATCH] ARM: Disable VGA console for ARM in most cases

Otherwise we have to disable it manually to avoid compile errors.

Now it's only enabled only for the selected machines as suggested
by Anton Vorontsov <cbouatmailru@gmail.com>:

$ git grep VGA_CONSOLE= arch/arm/configs/
arch/arm/configs/footbridge_defconfig:CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE=y
arch/arm/configs/integrator_defconfig:CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE=y
arch/arm/configs/netwinder_defconfig:CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE=y

Note that the Kconfig entry no longer needs separate entries
for ARCH_ACORN, ARCH_EBSA110 ARCH_VERSATILE.
