#15714: Don't filter out low resolution video modes as they are used for gaming

 Priority:  normal                   |    Milestone:  Unscheduled
Component:  System/Boot Loader/BIOS  |      Version:  R1/Development

-------------------------------------+------------------------------
 The VESA code in the bootloader filters out resolutions lower than 640
 pixels width. While they aren't really usable for Haiku itself, some
 emulators like BeMAME can make use of them when going full-screen.

 cf. https://git.haiku-
 os.org/haiku/tree/src/system/boot/platform/bios_ia32/video.cpp#n502

 Should we just remove this limitation or add a kernel setting to do it?
