Allow user to omit font size specification when loading a font. In addition
the following fixes had been made:

- check the size of the font being loaded and compare it with possible sizes
to minimise possibility of loading something that is not a fontfile at all
and turning console screen into garbage;

- prevent buffer overflow (and coredump as a result ) when loading valid
uuencoded file with size that exceeds allocated buffer;

- correct and improve several error messages.

New option `-g' to allow selecting custom text geometry in VESA_800x600 raster

The vidcontrol command now accepts the following video mode names:
VESA_132x25, VESA_132x43, VESA_132x50, VESA_132x60, VESA_800x600

The VESA_800x600 mode is a raster display mode. The 80x25 text will
be displayed on the 800x600 screen. Useful for some laptop computers.

vidcontrol accepts the new `-i <info>' option, where <info> must be
either `adapter' or `mode'. When the `-i adapter' option is given,
vidcontrol will print basic information (not much) on the video
adapter. When the `-i mode' option is specified, vidcontrol will
list video modes which are actually supported by the video adapter.
