Subject: [PATCH v3] tty: Partially revert the removal of the Cyclades public
 API

Fix a user API regression introduced with commit f76edd8f7ce0 ("tty: 
cyclades, remove this orphan"), which removed a part of the API and 
caused compilation errors for user programs using said part, such as 
GCC 9 in its libsanitizer component[1]:

.../libsanitizer/sanitizer_common/sanitizer_platform_limits_posix.cc:160:10: fatal error: linux/cyclades.h: No such file or directory
  160 | #include <linux/cyclades.h>
      |          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
make[4]: *** [Makefile:664: sanitizer_platform_limits_posix.lo] Error 1

As the absolute minimum required bring `struct cyclades_monitor' and 
ioctl numbers back then so as to make the library build again.  Add a 
preprocessor warning as to the obsolescence of the features provided.

Changes from v2:

- Add #warning directives.

Changes from v1:

- Adjust heading from "tty: Revert the removal of the Cyclades public API".

- Only revert `struct cyclades_monitor' and ioctl numbers.

- Properly format the change given that it's not a plain revert anymore.
