Fix some compilation warnings with MSVC.

[KERNEL32-CONSRV]
- Implement console graphics screen buffers, as described in http://blog.airesoft.co.uk/2012/10/things-ms-can-do-that-they-dont-tell-you-about-console-graphics/ .
  The idea is that the console server creates a memory shared section to be shared with the client console application (it increases performance). A mutex is used to "say" to the console server that he can repaint the screen. The function InvalidateConsoleDIBits is implemented too. The definition of the structure CONSOLE_GRAPHICS_BUFFER_INFO comes directly from the site.
- CreateConsoleScreenBuffer was modified to be able to create such buffers.
This is needed for a working NTVDM-like application.

[CONSRV]
- Rework the console buffer structures so that text-mode buffers and graphics-mode buffers can "inherit" from an "abstract" structure, CONSOLE_SCREEN_BUFFER. Add few helper functions for manipulating them.
- Reorganize the output code in "graphics.c" and "text.c" files to separate text-mode only code from graphics-mode only code, both in the console server and in the GUI front-end.

Other fixes:
- Fix mouse handling (left and right clicks when one goes away from the "Selection" mode); do not handle mouse signal when we reactivate the GUI front-end window by a click.
- Fix GetLargestConsoleWindowSize API in console server side. Now pressing Alt+F9 in Far Manager to "change" the "video" mode works correctly.

Finally:
- Start to implement a (fake, i.e. not using directly a VGA driver) console fullscreen mode. Currently Alt-Enter key presses call a stub which just alternates DPRINTing between "switch to fullscreen mode" and "switch to windowed mode".
