The "nomodeset" kernel cmdline parameter is handled by the vgacon driver
but the exported vgacon_text_force() symbol is only used by DRM drivers.
It makes much more sense for the parameter logic to be in the subsystem
of the drivers that are making use of it.
Let's move the vgacon_text_force() function and related logic to the DRM
subsystem. While doing that, rename it to drm_firmware_drivers_only() and
make it return true if "nomodeset" was used and false otherwise. This is
a better description of the condition that the drivers are testing for.

Current (and older) Simics models for the Bochs VGA used the wrong PCI
vendor ID (0x4321 instead of 0x1234). Although this can hopefully be
fixed in the future, it is a problem for users of the current version,
not the least because to update the device ID the BIOS has to be
rebuilt in order to see BIOS output.
Add support for the 4321:1111 device number in addition to the
1234:1111 one.
