[PATCH 1/3] vt: avoid a VLA in the unicode screen scroll function

The nr argument is typically small: most often nr == 1. However this
could be abused with a very large explicit scroll in a resized screen.
Make the code scroll lines one at a time in all cases to avoid the VLA.
Anything smarter is most likely not warranted here.
