tail,stat: improve support for the IBRIX file system
Note that IBRIX used to have a different magic number 0x013111A7 instead of the current 0x013111A8. However, the former is no longer used and the version of IBRIX it was used in is really ancient, so it's extremely unlikely anyone is still using it. Therefore, just add the newer magic number. Mark IBRIX as a 'remote' file system type as inotify support had never been officially tested with it. * src/stat.c (human_fstype): Add file system ID definition. * NEWS: Mention the improvement. Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/19951

mv will try a reflink before falling back to a standard copy, which is
more efficient when moving files across BTRFS subvolume boundaries.
+ stat and tail now know about IBRIX. stat -f --format=%T now reports the file
+ system type, and tail -f uses polling for files on IBRIX file systems.
