vt,console,kdb: automatically set kdb LINES variable
The kernel console interface stores the number of lines it is configured to use. The kdb debugger can greatly benefit by knowing how many lines there are on the console for the pager functionality without having the end user compile in the setting or have to repeatedly change it at run time.
