initramfs: setup keymapping and video for prompts

From Steve Langasek <[email protected]>:
> The poorly-named 'FRAMEBUFFER' option in initramfs-tools controls
> whether the console_setup and plymouth scripts are included and used
> in the initramfs. These are required for any initramfs which will be
> prompting for user input: console_setup because without it the user's
> configured keymap will not be set up, and plymouth because you are
> not guaranteed to have working video output in the initramfs without
> it (e.g. some nvidia+UEFI configurations with the default GRUB
> behavior).

> The zfs initramfs script may need to prompt the user for passphrases
> for encrypted zfs datasets, and we don't know definitively whether
> this is the case or not at the time the initramfs is constructed (and
> it's difficult to dynamically populate initramfs config variables
> anyway), therefore the zfs-initramfs package should just set
> FRAMEBUFFER=yes in a conf snippet the same way that the
> cryptsetup-initramfs package does
> (/usr/share/initramfs-tools/conf-hooks.d/cryptsetup).
