[PATCH 1/1] hurd: Avoid extra ctty RPCs in init_dtable ()

[Sergey Bugaev <bugaevc@gmail.com>]

It is common to have (some of) stdin, stdout and stderr point to the
very same port. We were making the ctty RPCs that _hurd_port2fd () does
for each one of them separately:

1. term_getctty ()
2. mach_port_deallocate ()
3. term_open_ctty ()

Instead, let's detect this case and duplicate the ctty port we already
have. This means we do 1 RPC instead of 3 (and create a single protid
on the server side) if the file is our ctty, and no RPCs instead of 1
if it's not. A clear win!
