tail: disable inotify with only non existent files
tests/tail-2/F-headers.sh and test/tail-2/retry.sh fail on
on remote file systems due to tail going into inotify mode
due to not being able to determine the remoteness of the
non existent files.
* src/tail.c (any_non_remote_file): A new function used
to disable inotify when there are no open files, as
we can't determine remoteness in that case.
* NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
