[ipxe-devel] [ipxe] Initial support for automatically choosing resolution based on EDID (#48)

[Jonathan Dieter]

Ok, here's a more elegant way of automatically choosing the resolution based on the EDID returned by the monitor.  This patch adds an "-a" option to the console command that will automatically choose the best resolution.

edid.c and edid.h are originally from xrandr, but with some formatting changes to make them fit in better with the ipxe code base, and some new interface code.

Compiling with DEBUG=edid:2 will give you a human-readable dump of the EDID when you run "console -a".
