Hi Michael!

This commit provides a much more comprehensive description of virtual console capture devices, and how to use them properly.

I only had a brief look at the new text, but I'm afraid this is way too verbose to be practically useful. For example:

- We don't need 30 lines of explanation of the coordinate system. The current man page says "x = y = 0 at the top left corner of the screen", which is more than enough.

- We don't need 4 different examples; one would be enough.

 man -Tpdf vcs >/tmp/vcs.pdf

(This is not a secure use of /tmp.)
