  Track state to determine if the associated TTY device node has been used.
  
  It turns out our old TTY layer (and other implementations) block when
  you read() on a PTY master device of which the slave device node has not
  been opened yet. Our new implementation just returned 0. This caused
  applications like telnetd to die in a very subtle way (when child
  processes would open the TTY later than the first call to select()).
  
  Introduce a new flag called PTS_FINISHED, which indicates whether we
  should block or bail out of a read() or write() occurs.
