simplify ctermid
opening /dev/tty then using ttyname_r on it does not produce a
canonical terminal name; it simply yields "/dev/tty".

it would be possible to make ctermid determine the actual controlling
terminal device via field 7 of /proc/self/stat, but doing so would
introduce a buffer overflow into applications built with L_ctermid==9,
which glibc defines, adversely affecting the quality of ABI compat.
