Bug #420
[librechroot] Doesn't handle stdin being redirected correctly.

Description
This is because of a bug in systemd-nspawn.
The systemd bug is at: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70290
In the latest version (20131007), it prints a warning if stdin is not a TTY, but allows you to continue.
This cannot be easily worked around. It might be possible using a new C program, I know of nothing that will handle PTYs correctly; socat won't do it unless it has an option I'm skipping over in the man page.
Unless/until the systemd bug is fixed, it might be best to fail immediately if stdin isn't a TTY.
