port-hp300/54255: Support SGC graphics in any slot in hp300 system

>Description:
Currently the hp300 port's SGC graphics only supports the 9000/425e because it assumes an SGC frame buffer is only in slot 0. On an 9000/425t however, an SGC frame buffer will be in slot 3.
In discussion of this on the port-hp300 list at <http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-hp300/2018/11/18/msg000126.html>, Izumi Tsutsui suggested that we scan all SGC slots. I've tested the changes to do so on my HP 9000/425t running netbsd-8 and they work fine so I suggest they be incorporated ASAP.
>How-To-Repeat:
Try to boot netbsd-8 on an HP 9000/425t with SGC graphics (HP A1659A card). You will have to use serial console because the graphical console will stop working partway through the boot.
>Fix:
Incorporate Izumi Tsutsui's fixes posted to the port-hp300 list, rebuild the kernel, and boot the new kernel. NetBSD will come right up.
