Subject: wall: do not error for ttys that do not exist

wall: do not error for ttys that do not exist

Some wayland display managers (GDM) put strings like "seat0" in the
ut_line field of utmp entries. These are not valid tty devices.

Avoid writing a confusing error message for ttys that do not exist.
