runfvp: Ensure new process group is in the foreground

When a new process group is created, it is launched in the background
and any attempt to access the session terminal triggers a SIGTTIN (for
stdin) or SIGTTOU (for stdout) signal. These are ignored in an
interactive shell, but the default signal behavior in a new job is to
send a SIGTSTP to the whole process group. This causes runfvp to hang
when executed via a subprocess when stdin is accessed.

After creating a new process group, use tcsetpgrp to make the new group
the foreground process for the terminal associated with stdin/stdout,
but only if stdin is a tty.

The documentation for tcsetgrp states that tcsetpgrp itself raises a
SIGTTOU signal, so set this signal to SIG_IGN.
