Console is utf-8 by default

The console is now by default in UTF-8 mode.  Fix the documentation on
the default value, so that we can explain behaviour that otherwise
causes bug-reports like this:

Also add the needed "vt." prefix, so that the boot-time config options
to switch back to the legacy 8-bit mode is actually documented
correctly.
