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.
