console and vterm (terminal widget) use chargrid to implement console protocol / console TTY emulation. Remcons needs to use the same. However, part of the console protocol implementation is duplicated in console and terminal widget and should be factored out as well.

output server can render chargrid onto a VT100-like terminal. This logic needs to be moved out to a library so that it can be reused in remcons.

After the above two pieces are factored out, remcons can be made to use them, which should give it full console capability.
