[PATCH] vgacon: no vertical resizing on EGA

EGA boards suck: they mostly have write-only registers.  This is
particularly problematic for the overflow register: for being able to write
to it, we would have to handle vertical sync & such too, which (I'd say)
would potentially break a lot of configurations.  Instead, just disabling
vertical resize for EGA boards is just nice enough (horizontal resize still
works).
