Add missing POSIX 1003.1-2008 open(2) flag; O_TTY_INIT.
On FreeBSD, this is the default behaviour. According to the spec, we may give this flag a value of zero, but I'd rather not do this. If we define it to a non-zero value, we can always change default behaviour without changing the ABI. This is very unlikely to happen, though.
