const-ify the font control structures and data, to make somewhat better
guarantees that these are not modified anywhere in the kernel.
Specifically for a kernel debugger to share this information from the
normal kernel code, such a guarantee seems rather desirable.

Improve the fonts for use with the framebuffer.
I've added all the characters marked 'FIXME' in the sun12x22 font and
created a 10x18 font (based on the sun12x22 font) and a 7x14 font (based
on the vga8x16 font).
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, however, I've not seen any copyright
notices on the sun12x22 font and the vga8x16 font which I derived my new
fonts from so I don't know what the copyright status is.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
