font: add the Fixed 8x16 console font to the kernel.

Browse Source 
It's a bit like Terminus, but more rounded and less harsh on the eyes. Ubuntu has shipped
it as their default console font for years, before they switched to the "Ubuntu" font. Putting
this in the kernel has practically no benefit except to reduce the amount of "glitching"
swapping the built-in kernel console font for a new one halfway through boot when you see the
kernel output on a screen.

Note to gain the benefit of it not swapping the font around again when "consolefont" or
similar service starts, you need to set your font to Uni3-Fixed16.psf.gz or something very
similar.
