shared: add PTY helper

This Pty API wraps the ugliness that is POSIX PTY. It takes care of:
  - edge-triggered HUP handling (avoid heavy CPU-usage on vhangup)
  - HUP vs. input-queue draining (handle HUP _after_ draining the whole
    input queue)
  - SIGCHLD vs. HUP (HUP is no reliable way to catch PTY deaths, always
    use SIGCHLD. Otherwise, vhangup() and friends will break.)
  - Output queue buffering (async EPOLLOUT handling)
  - synchronous setup (via Barrier API)

At the same time, the PTY API does not execve(). It simply fork()s and
leaves everything else to the caller. Usually, they execve() but we
support other setups, too.

This will be needed by multiple UI binaries (systemd-console, systemd-er,
...) so it's placed in src/shared/. It's not strictly related to
libsystemd-terminal, so it's not included there.

+/*
+ * PTY
+ * A PTY object represents a single PTY connection between a master and a
+ * child. The child process is fork()ed so the caller controls what program
+ * will be run.
+ *
+ * Programs like /bin/login tend to perform a vhangup() on their TTY
+ * before running the login procedure. This also causes the pty master
+ * to get a EPOLLHUP event as long as no client has the TTY opened.
+ * This means, we cannot use the TTY connection as reliable way to track
+ * the client. Instead, we _must_ rely on the PID of the client to track
+ * them.
+ * However, this has the side effect that if the client forks and the
+ * parent exits, we loose them and restart the client. But this seems to
+ * be the expected behavior so we implement it here.
+ *
+ * Unfortunately, epoll always polls for EPOLLHUP so as long as the
+ * vhangup() is ongoing, we will _always_ get EPOLLHUP and cannot sleep.
+ * This gets worse if the client closes the TTY but doesn't exit.
+ * Therefore, the fd must be edge-triggered in the epoll-set so we
+ * only get the events once they change.
