tail: improve --follow=name with single non regular files

* src/tail (tail_forever): Attempt to read() from non blocking
single non regular file, which shouldn't block, but also
read data even when the mtime doesn't change.
* NEWS: Mention the improvement.
* THANKS.in: Thanks for detailed testing.
