[Cin] possible alpha bug in processing

[Phyllis Smith]

As IgorBeghetto recommended, I checked into GIT the change of 0xff to 0x00
in virtualvconsole.C as Andrew provided in his patch "
0001-background-clear-in-vconsole-must-be-set-to-0.patch". It will be easy
to undo if Igor and his computer, Charlie, find a problem with it.
(Actually I never figured out how to back something out of GIT, I just add
back the original).

Good find by Goat and glad Andrea and IgorBeghetto were able to see that
the correction fixes render using PNG, EXR, and TGA.  (I still wonder what
"Goat" stands for?).
