gh-85984: New additions and improvements to the tty library.

 The :mod:`tty` module defines the following functions:

+   Convert the tty attribute list *mode*, which is a list like the one returned
+   by :func:`termios.tcgetattr`, to that of a tty in raw mode.

 .. function:: setraw(fd, when=termios.TCSAFLUSH)
 
    Change the mode of the file descriptor *fd* to raw. If *when* is omitted, it
    defaults to :const:`termios.TCSAFLUSH`, and is passed to
-   :func:`termios.tcsetattr`.
