Changing the terminal window size is already handled on the pty master
side with TIOCGWINSZ/TIOCSWINSZ ioctls which will send SIGWINCH for the
pty slave process group.

While offhand I don't see any harm in that, I actually want to remove this
ioctl completely. It was added in 2010 specifically to support
RFC 1116/LINEMODE, and never picked up by userspace. Even if LINEMODE
support continues in Linux, it may get a userspace interface makeover.
