- A new semaphore: font_loading_in_progress.

Don't touch/update the screen while manipulating font data.
Possibly related to PR: kern/4271

- Set up VGA in alphanumeric mode rather than graphics mode when
loading font into video memory. This will drastically reduce flicker.
PR: bin/2977

- Set up scp->font_size properly during video mode switch caused by
ioctl.
