[patch] Bug in printing character from extended ASCII on pc386 vga console

[Alexey Shamrin]

Hello!

When trying to print character with code higher than 127 to vga
console on pc386, it is printed with blinking attribute enabled.

The reason: char == signed char, so such characters get represented by
negative numbers. The sign bit then goes to attribute byte, giving
blinking.

The patch can be applied to rtems/c/src/lib/libbsp/i386/pc386/console/outch.c
