[PATCH v2 0/2] Invert margin colors when terminal is inverted

This is v2 of "fbcon: Use background color for marginsâ"[1].

It turns out that using the text background color was not a good choice. So,
I've started over.

In this series, the margin color depends on the terminal's inversion state. If
it is not inverted, then the margins are black as they currently are. But now,
if the terminal is inverted, the margin color is also inverted, so it is white.

In order to detect when the terminal is inverted, I had to add a notifier
callback for the VT_UPDATE event. Otherwise, running `setterm -inverse on`
would not change the margins until I also ran `clear`.
