tail,stat: improve support for vmhgfs
Teach tail -f that it must use polling on vmhgfs file systems, and let stat -f --format=%T report the file system type name, "vmhgfs". * src/stat.c (human_fstype): Add a case: vmhgfs, 0xbacbacbc, remote. * NEWS (Improvements): Mention it. * THANKS.in: Update. Reported by Daniel Tschinder in http://bugs.gnu.org/12461.
