Arvind Sankar 45d97a749e efi/gop: Allow automatically choosing the best mode
Add the ability to automatically pick the highest resolution video mode
(defined as the product of vertical and horizontal resolution) by using
a command-line argument of the form
	video=efifb:auto

If there are multiple modes with the highest resolution, pick one with
the highest color depth.

Mauro Carvalho Chehab ab42b81895 docs: fb: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rst
The conversion is actually:
  - add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs;
  - fix tables markups;
  - add some lists markups;
  - mark literal blocks;
  - adjust title markups.

At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

Also, removed the Maintained by, as requested by Geert.
