dm: video: Add a temporary work-around for old stdout var


Boards with a saved environment may use 'lcd' in their stdout environment
variable, expecting that this will enable output to the LCD. When the board
moves to use driver model for video, this will no-longer work. Add a
work-around to fix this. A warning messages is printed, and we will remove
the work-around at the end of 2016.

help
This is a work-around for boards which have 'lcd' in their stdout
environment variable, but have moved to use driver model for video.
In this case the console will no-longer work. While it is possible
to update the environment, the breakage may be confusing for users.
This option will be removed around the end of 2016.
