fbdev: advertise limitation of drawing engine

A few drivers are not capable of blitting rectangles of any dimension.
vga16fb can only blit 8-pixel wide rectangles, while s3fb (in tileblitting
mode) can only blit 8x16 rectangles.  For example, loading a 12x22 font in
vga16fb will result in a corrupt display.

Advertise this limitation/capability in info->pixmap.blit_x and blit_y.  These
fields are 32-bit arrays (font max is 32x32 only), ie, if bit 7 is set, then
width/height of 7+1 is supported.
