add CONFIG_VT_UNICODE

As of now, the kernel defaults to non-unicode and XLATE for the keyboard.
We've been changing this in Fedora, but that requires patching the defaults
in the kernel.

The attached introduces CONFIG_VT_UNICODE, which sets the console in
unicode mode by default on boot, including both the virtual terminal and
the keyboard driver.

---help---
If you say Y here, the virtual terminal will be in UTF-8 by default,
and the keyboard will run in unicode mode.
If you say N here, the virtual terminal will not be in UTF-8 by
default, and the keyboard will run in XLATE mode.
This can also be changed by passing 'default_utf8=<0|1>' on the
kernel command line.
Historically, the kernel has defaulted to non-UTF8 and XLATE mode.
If unsure, say N here.
