rG3662862f558f: rc: syscons: Add UEFI special case

Summary

Changing cursor, screenmap and setting blanktime doesn't work when booted
with vt(4) and UEFI so add a special case for those depending on machdep.bootmethods.
I have no way to test if this can work with vt(4) and bios boot so just in case
keep calling those for this.

71	Some VMs have a boot method that's neither bios nor uefi (but sometimes has uefi constraints, sometimes not). Not sure what the right path forward here is though. I'd default to assuming UEFI unless we know it's not. Also, machdep.bootmethod is x86 only... i'm thinking that aarch64, at last, might be popular enough that this might better...
