vt: keyboard: avoid signed integer overflow in k_ascii

commit b86dab05

 upstream.

When k_ascii is invoked several times in a row there is a potential for
signed integer overflow:

UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in drivers/tty/vt/keyboard.c:888:19 signed integer overflow:
10 * 1111111111 cannot be represented in type 'int'
CPU: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 5.6.11 #1
Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS Bochs 01/01/2011

While it can be worked around by using check_mul_overflow()/
check_add_overflow(), it is better to introduce a separate flag to
signal that number pad is being used to compose a symbol, and
change type of the accumulator from signed to unsigned, thus
avoiding undefined behavior when it overflows.
