bpo-41818: Add os.login_tty() for *nix. by 8vasu · Pull Request #23740 · python/cpython

This follows #23536. Also, see #23546, #23686.

os.login_tty() calls the native login_tty() when it is available; otherwise, if setsid() is available and if TIOCSCTTY or ttyname() are available, it runs generic code to emulate login_tty().

Post #23686, #23546, #23740 goals:

1. add test_winsize() to "Lib/test/test_pty.py";
2. major revision of "Lib/pty.py", which has not happened since the beginning of the millennium.
