Subject: [PATCH 4/4] n_tty: wrap all OLCUC code in a config option

Setting it to N, beside dropping runes, also disables old-style support
for all-caps OLCUC.  To get those 40 years old terminals to work, set
CONFIG_TTY_RUNES=y which will DTRT when stty iutf8 is off.

+	  On anything modern, though (as in "stty iutf8"), you do get actual
+	  runes.  You need userspace fonts for that; modern distributions
+	  tend to install both raster (xterm/rxvt) and TrueType (most
+	  terminals) fonts on their default GUI setups.  Alas, this is not
+	  the case on console due to sharply limited character sets.
