[PATCH] console utf-8 mode fixes

Fix 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.
