    Cygwin: pty: setup new pty on opening the master, not in constructor
    
    Setting up the pty in the master constructor ends up creating a new pty
    on every stat(2) call on /dev/ptmx.  Only do this when actually opening
    the device, not when using the device class in another, non-opening
    context.
