Box drawings char support on x68k and atari kernel for sysinst



Hi,

Currently NetBSD/x68k ite(4) console doesn't support VT220 DEC
special graphics character sets, including box drawing characters:
 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DEC_Special_Graphics

Then per TERM=vt220 value sysinst menuc (or curses) implicitly
assumes the target system supports the DEC graphics chars by
"ESC ( 0" sequence, i.e. smacs/rmacs/acsc in terminfo(5), and
just tries to use box drawing chars.

As a result, NetBSD/x68k (and also other ite(4) based ports
like atari etc.) shows menus as:
---

     lqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqk
     x NetBSD-9.2 Install                            x
     x                                               x
     x a: Install NetBSD to hard disk                x
     x b: Upgrade NetBSD on a hard disk              x
 :
---

This was already reported in PR port-atari/46647:
 https://gnats.netbsd.org/46647


There are two countermeasures for this problem:

(1) prepare and fix the port specific ite(4) terminfo entry
(2) implement DEC graphics by "ESC ( 0" sequence in the kernel ite(4)

x68k already has its own terminfo entry so we can fix it by
adding "acss=, smarc@, rmacs@" in "x68k" terminfo entry.

But on most crunched boot media we cannot have terminfo db and only
libterminfo embedded TERM values (ansi dumb vt100 vt220 wsvt25 xterm)
 https://nxr.netbsd.org/xref/src/lib/libterminfo/genterms?r=1.4#40
are provided, so we can't use own TERM on the sysinst.

With the following dumb patch, we can add "boot media specific
terminfo embedded compiled terms" using HACKED_CURSES in libhack:

 https://github.com/tsutsui/netbsd-src/compare/trunk...libhack-md-compiled_term


This still can't solve all ports because other ite(4) based ports
(amiga and atari) don't have their own terminfo entry.
They assume (claim) vt220 even in src/etc/etc.atari/ttys etc.

Anyway, box drawings chars could be required on other console
applications, so I've implemented DEC special graphics support
by "ESC ( 0" sequence for x68k (and atari) ite(4) driver.


For x68k, ite(4) already supports JISROMA (half width Japanese KANA)
encoding so switching encoding part (in ite.c) is trivial.

To handle box drawing chars I don't bother to add extra glyphs for them
but just replace them with '+', '-', and '|' chars (in ite_XX.c layer
that handles drawing per passed character code into VRAM),
as other applications (maybe curses) do.

I think the changes are port specific and trivial enough so
there is no concerns, but any comments are appreciated.

The changes for x68k are attatched, or on GitHub:

For atari, the driver already have DEC special graphics glyphs
in their font data so drawing char part (ite_XX.c) layer is trivial.
On the other hand, unlike x68k atari's ite(4) layer doesn't support
switching encoding, so I just pull x68k implementation mechanically.
