staging: udlfb: fbdev character read and write support

Restore fbdev character read and write support

Enables access to the framebuffer from simple reads and writes
to /dev/fb0 (or fb1, ...). Low performance, because of extra copy
and because udlfb must scan every pixel for changes. But very
useful for testing and simple image display, etc.
