stat: interpret "-" as standard input
* src/stat.c (do_stat): Interpret a command line argument of "-"
to mean "standard input", like many other tools do.
(do_statfs): Fail upon any attempt to use "-".
* NEWS (Changes in behavior): Mention it.
* tests/misc/stat-hyphen: New test, to exercise the above.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add misc/stat-hyphen.
