Subject: [PATCH] Center the first-boot setup screen and fix its greeter
 animation
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The setup progress screen stacked from row one while the greeter that precedes
it was already centered, so first boot changed shape between its two frames.
Center it on the same block height the ISO install dashboard uses — logo, blank,
title, blank, bar, blank, tip — and repaint it if the VT resizes, which is the
same virtio-gpu KMS handoff the greeter already watches for.

The greeter's ttfx call never passed --xterm-colors, so it hit exactly the
failure the comment above it describes: ttfx resolves even indexed stops to
truecolor, and the console reduces 256-colour codes well but 24-bit ones badly.
The gradient was being crushed rather than rendering as the indexed palette it
was written for, and the settle colour drifted off the green logo drawn beneath
it.

--canvas-width was cols-1 to stay off the autowrap column, which held for tte.
ttfx centres its text two columns right of plain centering, so cols-1 puts the
animated logo a column off the static one and it jumps when the effect starts.
