Remove CONFIG_VT_UNICODE

Since default_utf8 is already a sysfs attribute, having an extra
CONFIG_VT_UNICODE compile-time option is redundant, since sysfs attributes can
be set at boot and run time.

Also let Linux VCs default to UTF-8 (as per the discussion at
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/9/6/99).

If you say Y here, the virtual terminal will be in UTF-8 by default,
and the keyboard will run in unicode mode.
If you say N here, the virtual terminal will not be in UTF-8 by
default, and the keyboard will run in XLATE mode.
This can also be changed by passing 'default_utf8=<0|1>' on the
kernel command line.
Historically, the kernel has defaulted to non-UTF8 and XLATE mode.
If unsure, say N here.
