 PR/33623: Chuck Cranor: Ping stops when ran in the background
 because it tries to set the tty not to print kerninfo. Change it
 to only only play with the tty when ping is running in the foreground
 (and will not stop when calling tcsetattr()). In my opinion, it is
 preferable to print the kerninfo line with the ping info message
 rather than to mess with the tty, but that's just me.
 Factor out the tty code and explain we prefer to stop in the ^Z bg case
 when we exit, rather than kill the tty setting.
