video: truetype: Use pre-allocated buffer for glyph rendering

The TrueType console driver calls malloc/free for every character
rendered, which causes significant memory fragmentation and allocation
traffic.

Add CONFIG_CONSOLE_TRUETYPE_GLYPH_BUF to enable a pre-allocated buffer
in the driver's private data. The buffer starts at 4KB and grows via
realloc() as needed. When rendering a glyph, use this buffer to avoid
malloc/free for normal characters.

The buffer is allocated lazily after relocation to avoid consuming
early malloc space before the full heap is available.

Add CONFIG_VIDEO_GLYPH_STATS (default y on sandbox) to track the number
of glyphs rendered. Use 'font info' to view the count.

- Rename the Kconfig to just enable the feature: always allocate
