Fix a test script not to claim an ext2 file system is of type xfs.

* tests/du/slink: When using df --local and df --type=TYPE,
test only the exit code.  Don't bother with stdout.
Prompted by a report by Thomas Schwinge of an inaccurate diagnostic.

        * gl/lib/savewd.c: Remove this file, since the savewd_save change
        is now in gnulib.  The other wasn't useful.
