tail: avoid outputting repeated data with remote files
* src/tail.c (tail_forever): Only read up to st_size on network file systems to avoid the issue with a stale attribute cache returning a smaller st_size than we have already read(). The was seen with glusterfs at least and caused the complete file to be repeatedly output due to assuming the file was truncated in this case. * NEWS: Mention the fix.
