tty: Avoid leaving dangling pointers in tty_drop_ctty()

The TIOCNOTTY handler detaches the calling process from its controlling
terminal.  It clears the link from the session to the tty, but not the
pointers from the tty to the session and process group.  This means that
sess_release() doesn't call tty_rel_sess(), and that pgdelete() doesn't
call tty_rel_pgrp(), so the pointers are left dangling.

Fix this by clearing pointers in tty_drop_ctty().  Add a standalone
regression test.
