Since 'default8x16' was hard-coded to satisfy previous issue in PR #3928

This allows to scan locally available fonts: then populate the list and write the correct config into /etc/vconsole.conf

One edge case that is important to note is that terminus-font is available in ISO but not in the target hence the naive ter- check.

Continuation of conversation on #4356 by @Softer but instead setting it in live, we just set it up for the target.

I'm already working on the same task - fonts and locales for the target system, just wait for merging #4356... :)

Great I'll close this one, was just making sure :) Think its more important then setting it during the menu tbh
