33ac9dba85 fonts: Add 6x10 font
This font is suitable for framebuffer consoles on devices with a
320x240 screen, to get a reasonable number of characters (53x24) that
are still at a readable size.

The font is derived from the existing 6x11 font, but gets 3 extra
lines without sacrificing readability. Also I redesigned a some glyhps
so they are more distinct and better fill the available space.

a2fb4d782c partly revert commit 8a10bc9: parisc/sti_console: prefer Linux fonts over built-in ROM fonts
STI console is used on parisc and m68k HP machines. This patch partly reverts
my previous commit and as such restores the fonts for the m68k machines.

8a10bc9d27 parisc/sti_console: prefer Linux fonts over built-in ROM fonts
The built-in ROM fonts lack many necessary ASCII characters, which is
why it makes sens to prefer the Linux fonts instead if they are
available.  This makes consoles on STI graphics cards which are not
supported by the stifb driver (e.g. Visualize FXe) looks much nicer.

ee89bd6bc7 lib: Move fonts from drivers/video/console/ to lib/fonts/
Several drivers need font support independent of CONFIG_VT, cfr. commit
9cbce8d7e1dae0744ca4f68d62aa7de18196b6f4, "console/font: Refactor font
support code selection logic").
Hence move the fonts and their support logic from drivers/video/console/ to
its own library directory lib/fonts/.
This also allows to limit processing of drivers/video/console/Makefile to
CONFIG_VT=y again.
