Allow creating processes where only one of stdin or stdout is a PTY

* src/lisp.h (emacs_spawn):
* src/callproc.c (emacs_spawn): Add PTY_IN and PTY_OUT arguments to
specify which streams should be set up as a PTY.
(call_process): Adjust call to 'emacs_spawn'.

* src/process.h (Lisp_Process): Replace 'pty_flag' with 'pty_in' and
'pty_out'.

* src/process.c (is_pty_from_symbol): New function.
(make-process): Allow :connection-type to be a cons cell, and allow
using a stderr process with a PTY for stdin/stdout.
(create_process): Handle creating a process where only one of stdin or
stdout is a PTY.

* lisp/eshell/esh-proc.el (eshell-needs-pipe, eshell-needs-pipe-p):
Remove.
(eshell-gather-process-output): Use 'make-process' and set
':connection-type' as needed by the value of 'eshell-in-pipeline-p'.

* lisp/net/tramp.el (tramp-handle-make-process):
* lisp/net/tramp-adb.el (tramp-adb-handle-make-process):
* lisp/net/tramp-sh.el (tramp-sh-handle-make-process): Don't signal an
error when ':connection-type' is a cons cell.

* test/src/process-tests.el
(process-test-sentinel-wait-function-working-p): Allow passing PROC
in, and rework into...
(process-test-wait-for-sentinel): ... this.
(process-test-sentinel-accept-process-output)
(process-test-sentinel-sit-for, process-test-quoted-batfile)
(process-test-stderr-filter): Use 'process-test-wait-for-sentinel'.
(make/process/test-connection-type): New function.
(make-process/connection-type/pty, make-process/connection-type/pty-2)
(make-process/connection-type/pipe)
(make-process/connection-type/pipe-2)
(make-process/connection-type/in-pty)
(make-process/connection-type/out-pty)
(make-process/connection-type/pty-with-stderr-buffer)
(make-process/connection-type/out-pty-with-stderr-buffer): New tests.

* test/lisp/eshell/esh-proc-tests.el (esh-proc-test--detect-pty-cmd):
New variable.
(esh-proc-test/pipeline-connection-type/no-pipeline)
(esh-proc-test/pipeline-connection-type/first)
(esh-proc-test/pipeline-connection-type/middle)
(esh-proc-test/pipeline-connection-type/last): New tests.

* doc/lispref/processes.texi (Asynchronous Processes): Document new
':connection-type' behavior.
(Output from Processes): Remove caveat about ':stderr' forcing
'make-process' to use pipes.

* etc/NEWS: Announce this change (bug#56025).
