Florian Weimer 27fe5f2e67 Linux: Require properly configured /dev/pts for PTYs
Current systems do not have BSD terminals, so the fallback code in
posix_openpt/getpt does not do anything.  Also remove the file system
check for /dev/pts.  Current systems always have a devpts file system
mounted there if /dev/ptmx exists.

grantpt is now essentially a no-op.  It only verifies that the
argument is a ptmx-descriptor.  Therefore, this change indirectly
addresses bug 24941.
