Improvements for curved quotes on Linux consule

This should help Emacs work better out-of-the-box on Linux consoles,
which have only limited support for displaying Unicode characters.
Also, undo the recent change that caused text-quoting-style to
affect quote display on terminals, so that the two features are
independent.  See Alan Mackenzie in:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2015-09/msg00244.html
Finally, add a style parameter to startup--setup-quote-display,
so that this function can also be invoked after startup, with
different styles depending on user preference at the time.
* configure.ac: Check for linux/kd.h header.
* doc/emacs/display.texi (Text Display): Document quote display.
* doc/lispref/display.texi (Active Display Table):
* etc/NEWS:
* lisp/startup.el (startup--setup-quote-display, command-line):
text-quoting-style no longer affects quote display.
* doc/lispref/frames.texi (Terminal Parameters): Fix typo.
* lisp/international/mule-util.el (char-displayable-p):
* lisp/startup.el (startup--setup-quote-display):
On a text terminal supporting glyph codes, use the reported
glyph codes instead of the terminal coding system, as this
is more accurate on the Linux console.
* lisp/startup.el (startup--setup-quote-display):
New optional arg STYLE.
* src/fontset.c (Finternal_char_font):
Report glyph codes for a text terminal, if they are available.
Currently this is supported only for the Linux console.
* src/termhooks.h (struct terminal): New member glyph-code-table.
* src/terminal.c [HAVE_LINUX_KD_H]: Include <errno.h>, <linux/kd.h>.
(calculate_glyph_code_table) [HAVE_LINUX_KD_H]: New function.
(terminal_glyph_code): New function.
