I have added a '-n' flag to the watch(8) command. This option
disables the ability to interactively select a new tty. I have also
removed a check for uid == 0 because it gets in the way of using suid
mode based access control. Watch (8)is only runnable by root, so this
does not really change things much.
Closes PR#2131
