5ebad6a76a Remove pts(4) entries from /etc/ttys.
Even though I increased the amount of pts(4) entries in /etc/ttys some
time ago, I didn't realize back then those entries shouldn't have been
there in the first place.

I just looked at the getttyent() source code and it turns out when you
call setttyent(), it walks through /dev/pts and looks for the device
with the highest number. After you receive EOF's from getttyent(), it
makes up entries for pts(4) devices.

This means that adding entries for pts(4) is somewhat harmful, because
if you now traverse the list, you get redundant entries, so just remove
them.

64bf633eec Add entries for uart based serial ports. All the serial ports on mips
so far are uart subclasses.  Also, turn uart0 on by default.

0a3bd811c6 Restore 256 pty(4) entries.
As discussed with Robert Watson on the src-committers list, it is safer
to keep at least some pty(4) entries in /etc/ttys, for applications that
roll their own PTY allocation routine and only search for BSD-style
PTY's.

This means we've now just toggled the amount of entries for pts(4) and
pty(4).

fa38c73642 Remove old BSD-style entries from /etc/ttys and increase pts(4) to 512.
Because we now use pts(4)-style PTY's exclusively, there is no use for
these entries in /etc/ttys. Right now the pts(4) entries only go from 0
to 255. Because we're going to touch these files anyway, increase the
number to 511.
