Make /proc/self/fd `work'.

On Linux, /proc/<pid>/fd is comparable to fdescfs, where it allows you
to inspect the file descriptors used by each process. Glibc's ttyname()
works by performing a readlink() on these nodes, since all nodes in this
directory are symlinks.

It is a bit hard to implement this in linprocfs right now, so I am not
going to bother. Add a way to make ttyname(3) work, by adding a
/proc/<pid>/fd symlink, which points to /dev/fd only if the calling
process matches. When fdescfs is mounted, this will cause the
readlink() in ttyname() to fail, causing it to fall back on manually
finding a matching node in /dev.
