df: always print the device name for bind mounted files
* src/df (show_point): Remove the optimization for comparing the specified path with the device name, as this produces inconsistent results in the presence of bind mounts. For bind mounts, the device name is populated with the bind mount target. * NEWS: Mention the change in behavior.

** Changes in behavior
+ df now consistently prints the device name for a bind mounted file,
+ rather than its aliased target.

du now uses less than half as much memory when operating on trees
with many hard-linked files. With --count-links (-l), or when
operating on trees with no hard-linked files, there is no change.
