now that struct winsize is available via sys/ioctl.h once again,
including termios.h is not needed.

these have been adopted for future issue of POSIX as the outcome of
Austin Group issue 1151, and are simply functions performing the roles
of the historical ioctls. since struct winsize is being standardized
along with them, its definition is moved to the appropriate header.
there is some chance this will break source files that expect struct
winsize to be defined by sys/ioctl.h without including termios.h. if
this happens, further changes will be needed to have sys/ioctl.h
expose it too.

POSIX allows ttyname(_r) and isatty to return EBADF if passed file
descriptor is invalid.
maintainer's note: these are optional ("may fail") errors, but it's
non-conforming for ttyname_r to return ENOTTY when it failed for a
different reason.

the equivalent checks for newly opened stdio output streams, used to
determine buffering mode, are also fixed.
on most archs, the TCGETS ioctl command shares a value with
SNDCTL_TMR_TIMEBASE, part of the OSS sound API which was apparently
used with certain MIDI and timer devices. for file descriptors
referring to such a device, TCGETS will not fail with ENOTTY as
expected; it may produce a different error, or may succeed, and if it
succeeds it changes the mode of the device. while it's unlikely that
such devices are in use, this is in principle very harmful behavior
for an operation which is supposed to do nothing but query whether the
fd refers to a tty.
TIOCGWINSZ, used to query logical window size for a terminal, was
chosen as an alternate ioctl to perform the isatty check. it does not
share a value with any other ioctl commands, and it succeeds on any
tty device.
this change also cleans up strace output to be less ugly and
misleading.
