Introduce new syscons(4) kernel options:

- SC_CUT_SPACES2TABS - when copying text into the cut buffer convert leading
  spaces into the tabs;
- SC_CUT_SEPCHARS="XYZ" - treat supplied characters as possible words
  separators when the driver searches for words boundaries when doing cut
  operation.

Also unify cut code a bit to decrease amount of duplicated code. This fixes
line cut mode, so that it is no longer pads line with useless spaces.
