32bit XRGB and ARGB are used by modern x86 systems for EFI and VESA
framebuffers. The other formats were reported by hpa to be most common.
Add these so simplefb works on most common x86 systems.

If we create proper platform-devices in x86 boot-code, we can use simplefb
for VBE or EFI framebuffers, too. However, there is normally no OF support
so we introduce a platform_data object so x86 boot-code can pass the
parameters via plain old platform-data.

This also removes the OF dependency as it is not needed. The headers
provide proper dummies for the case OF is disabled.

Furthermore, we move the FORMAT-definitions to the common platform header
so initialization code can use it to transform "struct screen_info" to
the right format-name.
