Mosh doesn't print last login info like sshd does #984

Skyfaller on IRC asked about the absence of a "Last login: " message from Mosh.

This seems like a pretty reasonable feature request, but it's not quite trivial:

utmp/wtmp/utx/etc portability issues (only supporting utx might be reasonable here)
For an ssh session, sshd first prints the "Last login:" message, then writes a new login record. mosh-server invoked via sshd would of course see that new record. Correctly ignoring doesn't seem too hard at first glance (something like "ignore records for a current session on the tty mosh-server was invoked in"), but I suspect it might get a little trickier.

while on most my linux servers mosh works on it, but on OpenBSD it is still an issue - any advice how to correct on OpenBSD?
