vt: introduce unicode mode for /dev/vcs
Now that the core vt code knows how to preserve unicode values for each displayed character, it is then possible to let user space access it via /dev/vcs*. Unicode characters are presented as 32 bit values in native endianity via the /dev/vcsu* devices, mimicking the simple /dev/vcs* devices. Unicode with attributes (similarly to /dev/vcsa*) is not supported at the moment. Data is available only as long as the console is in UTF-8 mode. ENODATA is returned otherwise. This was tested with the latest development version (to become version 5.7) of BRLTTY. Amongst other things, this allows ⠋⠕⠗ ⠞⠓⠊⠎ ⠃⠗⠁⠊⠇⠇⠑⠀⠞⠑⠭⠞⠀to appear directly on braille displays regardless of the console font being used.
