Peilin Ye 6735b4632d Fonts: Support FONT_EXTRA_WORDS macros for built-in fonts
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".

Amanoel Dawod ac8b6f148f Fonts: New Terminus large console font
This patch adds an option to compile-in a high resolution
and large Terminus (ter16x32) bitmap console font for use with
HiDPI and Retina screens.

The font was convereted from standard Terminus ter-i32b.psf
(size 16x32) with the help of psftools and minor hand editing
deleting useless characters.

This patch is non-intrusive, no options are enabled by default so most
users won't notice a thing.

I am placing my changes under the GPL 2.0 just as source Terminus font.
