PuTTY causes the child process to inherit a lot of socket fds from
its parent, which is a pain if one of them then ends up holding open
a listening socket which the parent was using for port forwarding
after the parent itself is dead.
Therefore, this checkin sprinkles FD_CLOEXEC throughout the Unix
platform directory wherever there looks like being a long-lived fd.

it's NULL. Since we already have one back end (uxpty) which doesn't
in fact talk to a network socket, and may well have more soon, I'm
replacing this TCP/IP-centric function with a nice neutral
`connected' function returning a boolean. Nothing else about its
semantics has currently changed.

sufficiently large string into pterm in any circumstances in which
it's echoed back to the terminal will cause a deadlock once the
pty's write buffer fills up.

X/Open and actually seems to be more common (NetBSD has it). Also use
updwtmpx() rather than directly writing to the wtmpx file, though more for
reasons of aesthetics than anything practical.

_XOPEN_SOURCE. We do still need _GNU_SOURCE in order to get grantpt()
on GNU systems. This allows uxpty.c to compile on NetBSD.

structure, in preparation for wanting more than one of them in a
single process. This can't be done cleanly, because the whole
business with pty_pre_init pre-allocating the pty rather assumes we
want a known number of the things before we drop privileges; so
there's a horrid hack to make pty_pre_init work on platforms that
have at most one pty instance per process, but at the same time
things ought to work sensibly with more than one per process _if_
pty_pre_init isn't required.

/dev/ptyXX we can open: we must also check that we can open and use
the corresponding /dev/ttyXX, because if it's been left in the wrong
mode then we will look terribly silly when we fork and _then_
discover our pty is unusable.
