Subsystems are hard-coding the number of characters of our built-in fonts
as 256. Include that information in our kernel font descriptor, `struct
font_desc`.

Commit 6735b4632def ("Fonts: Support FONT_EXTRA_WORDS macros for built-in
fonts") introduced the following error when building rpc_defconfig (only
this build appears to be affected):
`acorndata_8x8' referenced in section `.text' of arch/arm/boot/compressed/ll_char_wr.o:
defined in discarded section `.data' of arch/arm/boot/compressed/font.o
`acorndata_8x8' referenced in section `.data.rel.ro' of arch/arm/boot/compressed/font.o:

The .data section is discarded at link time. Reinstating acorndata_8x8 as
const ensures it is still available after linking. Do the same for the
other 12 built-in fonts as well, for consistency purposes.

syzbot has reported an issue in the framebuffer layer, where a malicious
user may overflow our built-in font data buffers.
In order to perform a reliable range check, subsystems need to know
`FONTDATAMAX` for each built-in font. Unfortunately, our font descriptor,
`struct console_font` does not contain `FONTDATAMAX`, and is part of the
UAPI, making it infeasible to modify it.
For user-provided fonts, the framebuffer layer resolves this issue by
reserving four extra words at the beginning of data buffers. Later,
whenever a function needs to access them, it simply uses the following
macros:
Recently we have gathered all the above macros to <linux/font.h>. Let us
do the same thing for built-in fonts, prepend four extra words (including
`FONTDATAMAX`) to their data buffers, so that subsystems can use these
macros for all fonts, no matter built-in or user-provided.
This patch depends on patch "fbdev, newport_con: Move FONT_EXTRA_WORDS
macros into linux/font.h".

Several drivers need font support independent of CONFIG_VT, cfr. commit
9cbce8d7e1dae0744ca4f68d62aa7de18196b6f4, "console/font: Refactor font
support code selection logic").
Hence move the fonts and their support logic from drivers/video/console/ to
its own library directory lib/fonts/.
This also allows to limit processing of drivers/video/console/Makefile to
CONFIG_VT=y again.
