ptsname_r: Work around bug on Android 4.3.
* m4/ptsname_r.m4 (gl_FUNC_PTSNAME_R): Define
HAVE_ESSENTIALLY_WORKING_PTSNAME_R. Test whether the return value is
correct.
* lib/ptsname_r.c (__ptsname_r): If HAVE_ESSENTIALLY_WORKING_PTSNAME_R
is defined, just fix the return value.
* doc/glibc-functions/ptsname_r.texi: Mention the Android bug. Reword:
The behaviour of musl libc is nothing to be "fixed", since it is
compliant with the next POSIX standard.

@node Inode numbers on Windows @section Inode numbers on Windows The module @samp{windows-stat-inodes} ensures that, on native Windows platforms, @code{struct stat} contains @code{st_dev}, @code{st_ino} fields that are able to distinguish different inodes. Note: Such values can only be provided for most files on the file system. For a few files (such as inaccessible files), @code{st_dev} and @code{st_ino} are set to 0. Therefore, you should test whether @code{st_dev != 0 && st_ino != 0}, before going to make inferences based on the file identity based on @code{st_dev} and @code{st_ino}.
