[PATCH] disable VBE by default

The VBE protocol needs explicit device support and as
such isn't particularly useful by itself without that,
it also adds size and the potential of an attack vector
so devices that wish to use this protocol should
explicitly opt in to it like all other large features
in U-Boot.
