Updated console scripts for LFS 6.1 and 7.0

Hello, Pasha Zubkov found that the font isn't being correctly set on framebuffer consoles. This bug also affects LFS-6.1-testing. I have attached fixed console scripts for LFS-6.1 and 7.0 (the difference is that in the 6.1 script all UTF-8-related stuff is omitted). Now these scripts work f
