Force text mode when GRUB reports RGB but display is text mode

Browse Source 
On UTM/Mac, GRUB may report a RGB framebuffer while the actual display
is in VGA text mode (0xB8000). The early VGA canary confirms text mode
works. Override fb_info to EGA_TEXT before init_drivers() so vga_init()
uses the correct text buffer instead of writing to an invisible pixel
framebuffer.

Also add EARLY_PRINT markers for SYSCALL, KBD, PROC, DRV stages.
