tail: support rechecking currently missing remote dirs
src/tail.c (main): As an optimization, don't bother checking
for stdin or remote files, when ---disable-inotify is specified.
To improve the fix in commit 61b77891, set the disable_inotify
flag when we fall back to polling, so that we recheck remote files.
NEWS: Mention the fix
