ioctl_tty.2, poll.2, getpt.3, grantpt.3, openpty.3, posix_openpt.3, ptsname.3, ttyname.3, unlockpt.3, pts.4, pty.7: Eliminate problematic "master-slave" terminology
The "master-slave" terminology used in describing pseudoterminals
is problematic, and not even very technically descriptive. Rewrite
various manual pages to eliminate that language. The following
replacement terms are used:
slave ==> "terminal device"
(or "terminal end of the pseudoterminal device pair")
master ==> "pseudoterminal device"
(or "pseudoterminal end of the pseudoterminal device pair")
pseudoterminal (device) ==> "pseudoterminal device pair"
Another notable wording change is the use of phrasings such as
"the corresponding terminal device", when emphasizing the linkage
between the pseudoterminal and terminal ends of a pseudoterminal
device pair.
The terminology originates in golang (which made a similar
terminology change in 2019), and was suggested for Linux
man-pages by Elliot Hughes.

Various pages: Drop t comment header
Historically, a comment of the following form at the top of a
manual page was used to indicate too man(1) that the use of tbl(1)
was required in order to process tables:
'\" t
However, at least as far back as 2001 (according to Branden),
man-db's man(1) automatically uses tbl(1) as needed, rendering
this comment unnecessary. And indeed many existing pages in
man-pages that have tables don't have this comment at the top of
the file. So, drop the comment from those files where it is
present.
