Subject: [PATCH 1/2] UBUNTU: [Config] Add CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=y to config enforcer

Per a request from the Foundations Team, we already enabled
CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=y by default across all archs to ensure we
reliably have a framebuffer console from the start.  Add this config
check to the enforcer.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] UBUNTU: [Config] Add CONFIG_FB_VESA=y for x86 to config enforcer

Per a request from the Foundations Team, we enabled CONFIG_FB_VESA=y to
allow them to fix GRUB to program vesafb rather than efifb in the boot
parameters structure on x86 and also allow them to change GRUB packaging
to use vesafb by default.  Add this config check to the enforcer.
