Summary: fcntl.ioctl2 - fix for bug #555817

Initial Comment:
See bug #555817 - the basics of it are that some 
ioctl calls rely on both getting back the modified 
third argument and the return code. Python's ioctl
implementation doesn't allow this. Linux docs explicitly
mention this, the solaris docs also say it's possible
(but not so explicitly). 

Anyway, this fix is a patch to fcntlmodule.c and a
test_ioctl.py script - it merely tries to use TIOCGPGRP
and compares it to os.getpgrp().
