sparc: Use shared font data
sparc has a 'btext' font used for the console which is almost identical
to the shared font_sun8x16, so use it rather than duplicating the data.
They were actually identical until about a decade ago when
commit bcfbeecea11c ("drivers: console: font_: Change a glyph from
"broken bar" to "vertical line"")
which changed the | in the shared font to be a solid
bar rather than a broken bar. That's the only difference.
This was originally spotted by PMD which noticed that PPC does
the same thing with the same data, and they also share a bunch
of functions to manipulate the data.
Tested very lightly with a boot without FS in qemu.
