commit 3b7df69aaa5752f78537eafa5838f65a1ddfc938

    Cygwin: ctty: Add comments for the special values: -1 and -2.
    
    _pinfo::ctty has two special values other than the device id of
    the allocated ctty:
    -1: CTTY is not initialized yet. Can be associated with the TTY
        which is associated with the session leader.
    -2: CTTY has been released by setsid(). Can be associate only with
        new TTY which is not associated with any other session as CTTY,
        but cannot be associate with the TTYs already associated with
        other sessions.
    This patch adds the comments in some source files.
