Clear the font buffer if the reallocation during console rotation fails
in fbcon_rotate_font(). The putcs implementations for the rotated buffer
will return early in this case. See [1] for an example.
Currently, fbcon_rotate_font() keeps the old buffer, which is to small
for the rotated font. Printing to the rotated console with a high-enough
character code will overflow the font buffer.

Move the helpers vc_font_pitch() and vc_font_size() from the VT
header file into source file. They are not called very often, so
there's no benefit in keeping them in the headers. Also avoids
including <liux/math.h> from the header.

Implement pitch and size calculation for a single font glyph in the
new helpers font_glyph_pitch() and font_glyph_size(). Replace the
instances where the calculations are opencoded.
Note that in the case of fbcon console rotation, the parameters for
a glyph's width and height might be reversed. This is intentionally.

Simplify the Makefile. Drop font-obj-y and sort the fonts by dictionary
order. Done in preparation for supporting optional font rotation.

Move the glphy rotation helpers from fbcon to the font library. Wrap them
behind clean interfaces. Also clear the output memory to zero. Previously,
the implementation relied on the caller to do that.
Go through the fbcon code and callers of the glyph-rotation helpers. In
addition to the font rotation, there's also the cursor code, which uses
the rotation helpers.
The font-rotation relied on a single memset to zero for the whole font.
This is now multiple memsets on each glyph. This will be sorted out when
the font library also implements font rotation.
Building glyph rotation in the font library still depends on
CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_ROTATION=y. If we get more users of the code,
we can still add a dedicated Kconfig symbol to the font library.
No changes have been made to the actual implementation of the rotate_*()
and pattern_*() functions. These will be refactored as separate changes.

Change the signatures of the pattern helpers to align them with other
font-glyph helpers: use the font_glyph_ prefix and pass the glyph
buffer first.
Calculating the position of the involved bit is somewhat obfuscated
in the original implementation. Move it into the new helper
__font_glphy_pos() and use the result as array index and bit position.
Note that these bit helpers use a bit pitch, while other code uses a
byte pitch. This is intentional an required here.

Change the signatures of the glyph-rotation helpers to match their
public interfaces. Drop the inline qualifier.
Rename several variables to better match their meaning. Especially
rename variables to bit_pitch (or a variant thereof) if they store
a pitch value in bits per scanline. The original code is fairly
confusing about this. Move the calculation of the bit pitch into the
new helper font_glyph_bit_pitch().

Move the core of fbcon's font-rotation code to the font library as
the new helper font_data_rotate(). The code can rotate in steps of
90°. For completeness, it also copies the glyph data for multiples
of 360°.
Bring back the memset optimization. A memset to 0 again clears the
whole glyph output buffer. Then use the internal rotation helpers on
the cleared output. Fbcon's original implementation worked like this,
but lost it during refactoring.
Replace fbcon's font-rotation code with the new implementations.
All that's left to do for fbcon is to maintain its internal fbcon
state.

Fbcon creates a cursor shape on the fly from the user-configured
settings. The logic to create a glyph with the cursor's bitmap mask
is duplicated in four places. In the cases that involve console
rotation, the implementation further rotates the cursor glyph for
displaying.
Consolidate all cursor-mask creation in a single helper. Update the
callers accordingly. For console rotation, use the glyph helpers to
rotate the created cursor glyph to the correct orientation.

Move all temporary state of the font-rotation code into the struct
rotated in struct fbcon_par. Protect it with the Kconfig symbol
CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_ROTATION. Avoids mixing it up with fbcon's
regular state.
