Intermediate step to convert crtc/seq/attribute/gc_reg_read/write to maps from violating parties. Converted pc_vga sequencer regs to space memory. Make sure that address_space_config is preserved when inheriting. Converted ATC to attribute_map, GC to gc_map and CRTC to crtc_map. Reorder functions. Modernized VGA main I/O interfaces.
