[PATCH]console compatibility fixes to UTF-8 mode

[Adam Tla/lka <atlka@pg.gda.pl>]

Info:

Fixed inconsistent behaviour with linux terminal definition in UTF-8 mode,
and stick more closely to Unicode standard.
Tested on kernel 2.6.15.4 with lat2-sun16 and latarcyrheb-sun16 console fonts.
Should work without problems with previous kernels too.


Description:

Fixed UTF-8 mode so alternate charset modes always work according
to control sequences interpreted in csm_m and do_con_trol functions:
smpch = '\e[11m', rmpch='\e[10m',
smacs = '\x0e' and rmacs = '\x0f' if vt100 translation map for alternate
charset is active which means enacs = '\e)0'
which supports IBM-PC  and VT100 semigraphics compatibility,
and matches the same terminal definition for normal and UTF-8 mode;
malformed UTF sequences represented as sequences of replacement glyphs,
original codes or '?' as a last resort if replacement glyph is undefined
and  UCS-2 code does not fit in 0-127 code range
