tty: vt: sanitize arguments of consw::con_clear()

In consw::con_clear():
* Height is always 1, so drop it.
* Offsets and width are always unsigned values, so re-type them as such.

This needs a new __fbcon_clear() in the fbcon code to still handle
height which might not be 1 when called internally.

Note that tests for negative count/width are left in place -- they are
taken care of in the next patches.

And document the hook.
