[PATCH v2 1/3] test_terminal: redirect child process' stdin to a pty

When resuming, git-am detects if we are trying to feed it patches or not by checking if stdin is a TTY.

However, the test library redirects stdin to /dev/null. This makes it difficult, for instance, to test the behavior of "git am -3" when resuming, as git-am will think we are trying to feed it patches and error out.

Support this use case by extending test-terminal.perl to create a pseudo-tty for the child process' standard input as well.

Note that due to the way the code is structured, the child's stdin pseudo-tty will be closed when we finish reading from our stdin. This means that in the common case, where our stdin is attached to /dev/null, the child's stdin pseudo-tty will be closed immediately. Some operations like isatty(), which git-am uses, require the file descriptor to be open, and hence if the success of the command depends on such functions, test_terminal's stdin should be redirected to a source with large amount of data to ensure that the child's stdin is not closed, e.g.

	test_terminal git am --3way </dev/zero
