Description

This function saves the state of the OS console, so that it can be later restored by the PM_restoreConsoleState. This function must be called to save the console state so that it can go into graphics mode. On many OS'es this doesn't do much, but on Linux for instance this properly enabled the console for graphics output, and allows us to properly restore it later.
