x86/kconfig/defconfig: Enable CONFIG_DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION=y

Michael Kelley reported that the x86 defconfig *almost* works
well on Hyper-V guests out of box, with the exception of
console support:

 > I built and tested a Hyper-V guest with defconfig. The Hyper-V storage
 > and keyboard drivers are pulled in automatically. [...]

 > But the Linux console for each Hyper-V guest is a synthetic graphics

So enable CONFIG_DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION.

Also enable the dependent CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_ROTATION option
(disabled by default), as all major Linux distros have it enabled,
probably as an sysadmin quality-of-life option:

	.config.distro.debian.x86_32:     CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_ROTATION=y
	.config.distro.fedora.generic:    CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_ROTATION=y
	.config.distro.opensuse.default:  CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_ROTATION=y
	.config.distro.rhel.generic:      CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_ROTATION=y
	.config.distro.ubuntu:            CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_ROTATION=y

There's no measurable build time impact within ~1% stddev:

  # before:         33.759 +- 0.286 seconds time elapsed  ( +-  0.85% )
  # after:          33.593 +- 0.314 seconds time elapsed  ( +-  0.94% )
