Keith Rarick 7dc38fb350 remove deprecated nomenclature
The words "master" and "slave" in this context are both
harmful and, as a technical matter, confusing and
misleading. It was never my intention to use those terms
in this library, but they snuck in while I wasn't paying
attention.

This change replaces them with "pty" and "tty",
respectively, to be consistent with the other files in
this package and with the device names on BSD platforms.
These terms are not harmful (to the best of my
knowledge) and they're more specific.

In editing the comment in pty_linux.go, this patch also
corrects a factual error. The ioctl argument is not
"zero valued", it is a nonzero pointer to the number 0.
