Prepare support to be able to handle font data in loader, consolidate
data structures to sys/font.h and update vtfontcvt.
vtfontcvt update is about to output set of glyphs in form of C source,
the implementation does allow to output compressed or uncompressed font
bitmaps.

Invalid font data passed to PIO_VFONT can result in an integer overflow
in glyphsize. Characters may then be drawn on the console using glyph
map entries that point beyond the end of allocated glyph memory,
resulting in a kernel memory disclosure.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
Normal and bold fonts each have a glyph map for single or left half-
glyphs, and right half glyphs. The flag TF_CJK_RIGHT in term_char_t
requests the right half-glyph.

Introduce a new formatting bit (TF_CJK_RIGHT) that is set when putting a
cell that is the right part of a CJK fullwidth character. This will
allow drivers like vt(9) to support fullwidth characters properly.
emaste@ has a patch to extend vt(9)'s font handling to increase the
number of Unicode -> glyph maps from 2 ({normal,bold)} to 4
({normal,bold} x {left,right}). This will need to use this formatting
bit to determine whether to draw the left or right glyph.
