Daniel Bertalan 8dd11ae717 Kernel+SystemServer: Add /dev/tty ...

This file refers to the controlling terminal associated with the current
process. It's specified by POSIX, and is used by ports like openssh to
interface with the terminal even if the standard input/output is
redirected to somewhere else.

Our implementation leverages ProcFS's existing facilities to create
process-specific symbolic links. In our setup, `/dev/tty` is a symbolic
link to `/proc/self/tty`, which itself is a symlink to the appropriate
`/dev/pts` entry. If no TTY is attached, `/dev/tty` is left dangling.
