tail,stat: improve support for ZFS
This change enables tail -f to use inotify and lets stat -f --format=%T report the file system type name, "zfs". * src/stat.c (human_fstype): Add a case: zfs, 0x2fc12fc1. * NEWS (Improvements): Mention it. * THANKS.in: Update. Reported by Raimonds Miltins in http://bugs.gnu.org/12301.

than ignoring the -d option and failing with an 'Is a directory' error.
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.19, with the addition of --dir (-d)]
+** Improvements
+
+ stat and tail work better with ZFS. stat -f --format=%T now reports the
+ file system type, "zfs", and tail -f now uses inotify for files on ZFS
+ file systems, rather than the default (for unknown file system types)
+ of polling.

* Noteworthy changes in release 8.19 (2012-08-20) [stable]
