Log:
  MFC r355248: tty: implement TIOCNOTTY
  
  Generally, it's preferred that an application fork/setsid if it doesn't want
  to keep its controlling TTY, but it could be that a debugger is trying to
  steal it instead -- so it would hook in, drop the controlling TTY, then do
  some magic to set things up again. In this case, TIOCNOTTY is quite handy
  and still respected by at least OpenBSD, NetBSD, and Linux as far as I can
  tell.
  
  I've dropped the note about obsoletion, as I intend to support TIOCNOTTY as
  long as it doesn't impose a major burden.
