OK for glibc 2.35, and this fixes the test issues reported in bug 28853.

Tested on x86_64.

OK.

OK. In hindsight I think this can all be simplified using forkpty().

OK. This connects to the ptm side of the terminal.

OK. This is OK as-is, but it fills ptmxpath with the pts side of the ptm/pts pair. So we end
up operating on the pts side, but I think that's fine because it's the terminal that matters.
