Subject: [PATCH] Improve TTYGROUP description in login.defs manpage

Closes #457

The existing prose was confusing, or simply wrong.  Make it clear
that only the group ownership of the tty is affected, and how.
Also move the paragraph about defaults after the discussion of
acceptable TTYGROUPs, as this seems more natural.
