As it turns out, I can actually send data to the pty faster than the
terminal can read. Therefore, make sure we read as much data as possible
but bail out early enough to not cause starvation.
Kernel TTY buffers are 4k, so reduce the overall buffer size, but read
more than once if possible (up to 8 times sounds reasonable).

In pty.c there was both an include of our pty.h and the system installed pty.h.
The latter contains only two functions openpty and forkpty. We use neither so
I assume it was a typo and removed it. We still compile and pass all tests.

TIOCSIG is linux specific, so include the linux ioctl header to make sure
it's defined. We currently rely on some rather non-obvious recursive
includes. Make sure its always defined regardless of the system headers.

Explicitly initalize descriptors using explicit assignment like
bus_error. This makes barriers follow the same conventions as
everything else and makes things a bit simpler too.
Rename barier_init to barier_create so it is obvious that it is
not about initialization.
Remove some parens, etc.

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.
