This is just a maintenance patch to update font_ter16x32.c with changes
and minor fixes added in new upstream Terminus v4.49.
>From release notes of new version 4.49, this brings:
- Altered ascii grave in some sizes to be more useful as a back quote.
- Fixed 21B5, added 21B2 and 21B3.
Just as my initial submission of the font, above changes were obtained from
new ter-i32b.psf font source.
Terminus font sources are available for download at SourceForge:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/terminus-font/files/terminus-font-4.49/
Simply running `make` in source directory will build the .psf font files.

Subsystems are hard-coding the number of characters of our built-in fonts
as 256. Include that information in our kernel font descriptor, `struct
font_desc`.

Commit 6735b4632d ("Fonts: Support FONT_EXTRA_WORDS macros for built-in
fonts") introduced the following error when building rpc_defconfig (only
this build appears to be affected):

The .data section is discarded at link time. Reinstating acorndata_8x8 as
const ensures it is still available after linking. Do the same for the
other 12 built-in fonts as well, for consistency purposes.

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".

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.
