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.
