fix possible isatty false positives and unwanted device state changes
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

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.

fix missing memory barrier in cancellation signal handler
in practice this was probably a non-issue, because the necessary
barrier almost certainly exists in kernel space -- implementing signal
delivery without such a barrier seems impossible -- but for the sake
of correctness, it should be done here too.
in principle, without a barrier, it is possible that the thread to be
cancelled does not see the store of its cancellation flag performed by
another thread. this affects both the case where the signal arrives
before entering the critical program counter range from __cp_begin to
__cp_end (in which case both the signal handler and the inline check
fail to see the value which was already stored) and the case where the
signal arrives during the critical range (in which case the signal
handler should be responsible for cancellation, but when it does not
see the cancellation flag, it assumes the signal is spurious and
refuses to act on it).
in the fix, the barrier is placed only in the signal handler, not in
the inline check at the beginning of the critical program counter
range. if the signal handler runs before the critical range is
entered, it will of course take no action, but its barrier will ensure
that the inline check subsequently sees the store. if on the other
hand the inline check runs first, it may miss seeing the store, but
the subsequent signal handler in the critical range will act upon the
cancellation request. this strategy avoids adding a memory barrier in
the common, non-cancellation code path.

it would be possible to make ctermid determine the actual controlling

fix regression in getopt_long support for non-option arguments
commit
b72cd07f176b876aa51864d93aa8101477b1d732 added support for a
this feature in getopt, but it was later broken in the case where
getopt_long is used as a side effect of the changes made in commit
91184c4f16b143107fa9935edebe5d2b20bd70d8, which prevented the
underlying getopt call from seeing the leading '-' or '+' character in
optstring.
this commit changes the logic in the getopt_long core to check for a
leading colon, possibly after the leading '-' or '+', without
depending on the latter having been skipped by the caller. a minor
incorrectness in the return value for one error condition in
getopt_long is also fixed when opterr has been set to zero but
optstring has no leading ':'.

overhaul forkpty function using new login_tty
based on discussion with and patches by Felix Janda. these changes
started as an effort to factor forkpty in terms of login_tty, which
returns an error and skips fd reassignment and closing if setting the
controlling terminal failed. the previous forkpty code was unable to
handle errors in the child, and did not attempt to; it just silently
ignored them. but this would have been unacceptable when switching to
using login_tty, since the child would start with the wrong stdin,
stdout, and stderr and thereby clobber the parent's files.
the new code uses the same technique as the posix_spawn implementation
to convey any possible error in the child to the parent so that the
parent can report failure to the caller. it is also safe against
thread cancellation and against signal delivery in the child prior to
the determination of success.

previously, write errors neither stopped further output attempts nor
caused the function to return an error to the caller. this could
result in silent loss of output, possibly in the middle of output in

the simplest solution is temporarily clearing the error flag for the
target stream, then suppressing further output when the error flag is
set and checking/restoring it at the end of the operation to determine
the correct return value.
since the wide version of the code internally calls the narrow fprintf
to perform some of its underlying operations, initial clearing of the
error flag is suppressed when performing a narrow vfprintf on a
wide-oriented stream. this is not a problem since the behavior of
narrow operations on wide-oriented streams is undefined.

with clang's internal assembler, but broke compatibility with gas and
the traditional arm asm syntax by switching to the arm "unified

but require the .syntax directive to be used to switch to it. clang on
the other hand defaults to UAL. and old versions of gas (still
relevant) don't support UAL at all.
for the conditional ldm/stm instructions, "ia" is default and can just
be omitted, resulting in a mnemonic that's compatible with both
traditional and UAL syntax. but for byte/halfword loads and stores,
there seems to be no mnemonic compatible with both, and thus .word is
used to produce the desired opcode explicitly. the .inst directive is
not used because it is not compatible with older assemblers.
