pty: set VERASE character to backspace during setup

Browse Source 
Some crazy guy decided to set VERASE to DEL by default in the kernel. So
when starting an application which does not initialize the terminal on
startup, they may not notice that we actually send BACKSPACE as
erase-character (like /bin/login). Therefore, initialize VERASE to 010 so
everyone is happy.

Thanks to Etam for reporting this!
