video/logo: allow custom logo
Some people like to replace the default Tux boot logo by an image of their own. There exist a few tutorials here [1] and there [2]. But this requires modifying the source tree which is a bit cumbersome. Add a string entry in Kbuild for each of the logo categories (monochrome, 16-colors, 224-colors). The string entry takes a path to a .pbm or .ppm image allowing the user to more easily provide a custom logo without having to modify the sources. Add an help entry with a short hint on how to convert images to the portable pixmap file format. Update the Makefile accordingly. When converted to .c file, the logo will have one of these fixed file name: - logo_linux_mono.c - logo_linux_vga16.c - logo_linux_clut224.c: depending on the image type and this regardless of the name of the .pgm/.ppm source filename. This will allow for further simplifications in an upcoming change.
