video: screen_info: Add pixel-format helper for linear framebuffers

Add screen_info_pixel_format(), which converts a screen_info's
information about the color format to struct pixel_format. The encoding
within the screen_info structure is complex and therefore prone to
errors. Later patches will convert callers to use the pixel format.
