Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] fbcon: Invert margin colors when terminal is inverted

This uses white (7) for the margin color when a fbcon terminal is inverted,
e.g. with `setterm -inverse on`.

The motivation for this is screens where the black does not blend into the
screen. For example, using an LCD (not the backlit kind), white text on a
black background is hard to read, so inverting the colors is preferred.
However, if the margins are not also inverted, it leaves ugly black bars
on the right and bottom of the text area.
