tty: vt: conmakehash: remove non-portable code printing comment header

Commit 6e20753d ("tty: vt: conmakehash: cope with abs_srctree no
longer in env") included <linux/limits.h>, which invoked another
(wrong) patch that tried to address a build error on macOS.

According to the specification [1], the correct header to use PATH_MAX
is <limits.h>.

The minimal fix would be to replace <linux/limits.h> with <limits.h>.

However, the following commits seem questionable to me:

 - 3bd85c6c ("tty: vt: conmakehash: Don't mention the full path of the input in output")
 - 6e20753d ("tty: vt: conmakehash: cope with abs_srctree no longer in env")

These commits made too many efforts to cope with a comment header in
drivers/tty/vt/consolemap_deftbl.c:

  /*
   * Do not edit this file; it was automatically generated by
   *
   * conmakehash drivers/tty/vt/cp437.uni > [this file]
   *
   */

With this commit, the header part of the generate C file will be
simplified as follows:

  /*
   * Automatically generated file; Do not edit.
   */

BTW, another series of excessive efforts for a comment header can be
seen in the following:

 - 5ef6dc08 ("lib/build_OID_registry: don't mention the full path of the script in output")
 - 2fe29fe9 ("lib/build_OID_registry: avoid non-destructive substitution for Perl < 5.13.2 compat")
