console: Make persistent scrollback a boot parameter

Browse Source 
The impact of the persistent scrollback feature on the code size is
rather small, so the config option is removed. The feature stays
disabled by default and can be enabled by using the boot command line
parameter 'vgacon.scrollback_persistent=1' or by setting
VGACON_SOFT_SCROLLBACK_PERSISTENT_ENABLE_BY_DEFAULT=y.

Say Y here if the scrollback history should persist when switching
between consoles. Otherwise, the scrollback history will be flushed
each time the console is switched.

This feature might break your tool of choice to flush the scrollback
buffer, e.g. clear(1) will work fine but Debian's clear_console(1)
