Subject: [PATCH]console utf-8 mode fixes

Description: patch for drivers/char/vt.c

Fixed utf-8 mode so alternate charset modes always work according
to control sequences interpreted in do_con_trol function
preserving backward US-ASCII and VT100 semigraphics compatibility.

Malformed utf-8 sequences are represented as sequences of replacement 
glyphs,original codes or '?' as a last resort.

unicode-xterm, gnome-terminal, kconsole and other terminal emulators
in utf-8 mode respect acsc, enacs, rmacs sequences. Also I found that 
some important system programs (from Debian distro) uses acsc in utf-8 
mode - dselect, aptitude, w3m for example.
