Reject unreasonable values passed to CONS_HISTORY ioctl. It did not
check the value and caused kernel panic when a large value was given.

- Move the configuration option SC_HISTORY_SIZE from syscons.h to
syscons.c.
- Define the maximum total number of history lines of all consoles.
It is SC_HISTORY_SIZE*MAXCONS or 1000*MAXCONS; whichever is larger.
CONS_HISTORY will allow the user to set the history size up to
SC_HISTORY_SIZE unconditionally (or the current height of the console
if it is larger than SC_HISTORY_SIZE). If the user requests a larger
buffer, it will be granted only if the total number of all allocated
history lines and the requested number of lines won't exceed the maximum.
- Don't free the previous history buffer and leave the history buffer
pointer holding a invalid pointer. Set the pointer to NULL first, then
free the buffer.
