    loader: Use printc instead of print to fit in 24,80
    
    print automatically adds a newline, while printc does not. Use printc in
    preference to print for managing the autoboot message. This means we can
    use line 24 safely on a 24x80 terminal, restoring some functionality
    that was lost in 101afbc6ee2f0.
    
    Note: we still set the default curosor position to 25,1 in screen.lua,
    but real VT100s (and successors) will treat any row larger than the
    pnumber of rows in a cursor motion command to be the last physical row
    (this is so you can move to 9999,9999 and do a cursor location query to
    get the size of the screen). Keeping that as is looks better on a
    typical VGA console.
