[PATCH 1/2 v5] openpty: close slave pty fd on error

When openpty() failed only the master fd was closed so far. Let's close the
slave fd as well. Also, let's unify the error handling.

Changelog 2017-08-29:
* Unify error handling: use a common function exit that frees everything that
  needs freeing. (@Florian)
Changelog 2017-08-29:
* Do not be stupid and only close the file descriptors on error! Duh. (Thanks,
  @Andreas)
