drivers/pc80/vga: Add API to write multi-line video message

This patch provides an API to allow users to output multi-line
messages using VGA framebuffer.

The current limitation with multiline message is that,
vga_line_write() function is unable to understand newline character
hence, eventually output multiple lines separated with a newline
character with a single line statement.

This patch ensures to parse the entire string and split it into
multiple lines based on the newline character and print each line
separately to the VFG framebuffer.

User can choose to align the output video message as per given choice
between left/center/right of the screen
(i.e. enum VGA_TEXT_ALIGNMENT ).

Additionally, added macros to define the horizontal screen alignment
as well. Ideally if user would like to print the video message at the
middle of the screen then the vertical alignment would be
`VGA_TEXT_CENTER` and horizontal alignment would be
`VGA_TEXT_HORIZONTAL_MIDDLE`.

TEST=Able to build and boot Google/Taeko.

While output a video message such as :

"Your device is finishing an update. This may take 1-2 minutes.\nPlease
do not turn off your device."

Without this patch:

Your device is finishing an update. This may take 1-2 minutes. nPlease
do not turn off your device.

With this patch:

(in Left Alignment):
Your device is finishing an update. This may take 1-2 minutes.
Please do not turn off your device.

(in Right Alignment):
         Your device is finishing an update. This may take 1-2 minutes.
                                    Please do not turn off your device.

(in Center Alignment):
   Your device is finishing an update. This may take 1-2 minutes.
              Please do not turn off your device.
