I would suggest to use TIOCGPGRP (inside emacs_get_tty_pgrp) if it's
available, because at least on some systems it allows to access file
descriptors of processes other than the current one, while tcgetpgrp
does not.

Please note that emacs_get_tty_pgrp is used elsewhere in process.c,
and also make sure that it does what it does today on systems (w32)
which have neither TIOCGPGRP nor tcgetpgrp.
