[PATCH 1/3] test-terminal: give the child an empty stdin TTY

[Thomas Rast <trast@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

So far, test-terminal.perl did not care at all about the stdin (that
is, leave it as-is).  This mostly works well, but git-shortlog is a
problem:

* It takes decisions based on isatty(0).  (No test checks this, but
  compare 'git shortlog </dev/null' with 'git shortlog' in a
  terminal.)

* It reads all of stdin if !isatty(0) and no arguments were passed.

Because of the latter, t7006.58ff cause unexpected results if you do:

  git rev-list <range> |
  while read sha; do
    git checkout sha
    make test
  done

If t7006 runs during any 'make test' run, the next 'read sha' will
fail (git-shortlog ate all of stdin already) and the while loop stops
immediately.  In particular, this loop will only ever successfully
test *one* revision.

To fix this, change test-terminal.perl to open a third PTY for stdin,
send an EOF (Ctrl-D) immediately and close it later.  Since this may
not be portable, we use POSIX::Termios to set it to Ctrl-D.
