Add font_data_glyph_buf() to retrieve a character's glyph data or NULL
otherwise. Console fonts can currently contain 256 or 512 glyphs. The
kernel-internal characters are of type char, unsigned short or unsigned
int. Catch all of them by accepting unsigned int. Callers possibly have
to cast from signed to unsigned types to reach all glyphs in a font.
