[release-branch.go1.19] os/signal/internal/pty: fix error handling

When calling a c library function, you discover that an error has
occurred, typically by looking at the return value of the function. Only
after that can you use errno to figure out the cause of the error.

Nothing about cgo changes that story -- you still have to look at the
result before checking the error that represents errno. If not you can
get false errors if the function happens to leak a non-zero errno.

Fix testpty to check errors correctly.

Fixes #58941
