Fix the case when emacsclient is run on Emacs's controlling tty.
src/term.c (O_NOCTTY): Make sure it's defined. (no_controlling_tty): New variable. (init_initial_display, mark_ttys): Remove unused variable. (term_init): Check that the given filename is a terminal device. Dissociate the controlling terminal if we reopen it for other purposes. (Reported by Dan Nicolaescu <dann at ics dot uci dot edu>. (Fdelete_tty): Return nil. git-archimport-id: lorentey@elte.hu--2004/emacs--multi-tty--0--patch-72

+HOW TO COMPILE AND TEST
+-----------------------
+
To try it out, compile and run the multi-tty branch with the following
commands:
mkdir +build
cd +build
- ../configure
+ ../configure <your favourite options>
make bootstrap
src/emacs -nw # You can also try without -nw
M-x server-start
and then (from a shell prompt on another terminal) start emacsclient
with

You'll hopefully have two fully working, independent frames on
