Add a separate output for VGA connectors with BMC support. Convert
code for server models. Keep the original VGA for regular G200 models.

The VGA-BMC output either reports the connected VGA display or, if 
that is not available, the BMC. Makes the BMC connector obsolete, so 
remove it.

The benefit of the VGA-BMC connector is that is works with any
userspace. Most userspace compositors have problems configuring the
current BMC connector. The BMC connector is now gone and only a
VGA connector is present.
 
A different approach to removing the BMC connector has been tried in
[1]. The new series also picks up an idea from an older series, [2]
where BMC support is entirely transparent to the CRTC.
