vga: Fix the support of extended ASCII
VGA defineds the extended ASCII set based on CP437, but there is a bug on printing them: in vga_write_at_offset(), we perform a bitwise or between 'unsigned short' and 'signed char': ``` p[i] = 0x0F00 | string[i]; ``` If we want to show an extended ASCII character, string[i] will be negative and this bitwise operation will fail due to their implicit casting rule: convert signed char to unsigned short by adding 65536. To fix this, we need to cast the string to unsigned char manually somewhere. Since we still want to leverage the built-in string utilities which only accepts const char*, we still preserve the original prototypes before, and cast it until we write into the frame buffer.
