Revert "VT: Use macros to define ioctls"

This reverts commit 8c467f3300591a206fa8dcc6988d768910799872.

Turns out this breaks many architectures as the vt ioctls do not all
match up everywhere due to historical reasons, so the original commit is
invalid for many values.

VT: Use macros to define ioctls

All other headers use _IOC() macros to describe ioctls for a long time
now. This header is stuck in the last century.

Simply use the _IO() macro. No other changes.

VT: Add KD_FONT_OP_SET/GET_TALL operations

The KD_FONT_OP_SET/GET operations hardcode vpitch to be 32 pixels,
which only dates from the old VGA hardware which as asserting this.

Drivers such as fbcon however do not have such limitation, so this
introduces KD_FONT_OP_SET/GET_TALL operations, which userland can try
to use to avoid this limitation, thus opening the patch to >32 pixels
font height.

console: Delete unused con_font_copy() callback implementations

Recently in commit 3c4e0dff2095 ("vt: Disable KD_FONT_OP_COPY") we
disabled the KD_FONT_OP_COPY ioctl() option. Delete all the
con_font_copy() callbacks, since we no longer use them.

Mark KD_FONT_OP_COPY as "obsolete" in include/uapi/linux/kd.h, just like
what we have done for PPPIOCDETACH in commit af8d3c7c001a ("ppp: remove
the PPPIOCDETACH ioctl").

License cleanup: add SPDX license identifier to uapi header files with no license

Many user space API headers are missing licensing information, which
makes it hard for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default are files without license information under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPLV2. Marking them GPLV2 would exclude
them from being included in non GPLV2 code, which is obviously not
intended. The user space API headers fall under the syscall exception
which is in the kernels COPYING file:

NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel
services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use
of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work".

otherwise syscall usage would not be possible.

Update the files which contain no license information with an SPDX
license identifier. The chosen identifier is 'GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note' which is the officially assigned identifier for the
Linux syscall exception. SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne. See the previous patch in this series for the
methodology of how this patch was researched.
