 Remove old BSD-style entries from /etc/ttys and increase pts(4) to 512.

 Because we now use pts(4)-style PTY's exclusively, there is no use for
 these entries in /etc/ttys. Right now the pts(4) entries only go from 0
 to 255. Because we're going to touch these files anyway, increase the
 number to 511.

Won't older pty-using binaries from 4.x/5.x/6.x/7.x running with compat parts or old library versions still use old-style ptys, and hence need them in /etc/ttys?
