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.
