Increase VTFONT_MAXMAPPINGS and VTFONT_MAXGLYPHSIZE

I downloaded GNU Unifont from this website:
http://www.unifoundry.com/unifont.html

I tried to convert the BDF file to FNT file with vtfontcvt, but I got E2BIG
error when trying to load the converted file with vidcontrol -f.

It seems it was caused by the limits set in sys/dev/vt/vt_font.c.
#define    VTFONT_MAXMAPPINGS  8192         
#define    VTFONT_MAXGLYPHSIZE 1048576      

The values showed when loading the font.
f->map_count[0] = 12894
f->map_count[1] = 23362
f->map_count[2] = 0
f->map_count[3] = 0
glyphsize = 1133296

If I increase the limit with the attached patch, the font can be successfully
loaded.
