xz: Create separate is_tty() function.
The new is_tty() will report if a file descriptor is a terminal or not. On POSIX systems, it is a wrapper around isatty(). However, the native Windows implementation of isatty() will return true for all character devices, not just terminals. So is_tty() has a special case for Windows so it can use alternative Windows API functions to determine if a file descriptor is a terminal. This fixes a bug with MSVC and MinGW-w64 builds that refused to read from or write to non-terminal character devices because xz thought it was a terminal. For instance: xz foo -c > /dev/null would fail because /dev/null was assumed to be a terminal.
