stat, lstat, fstat tests: Enhance tests regarding /dev/null or NUL.

* tests/test-fstat.c: Include <fcntl.h>.
(main): Check that fstat reports /dev/null or NUL as a character device.
* tests/test-stat.h (test_stat_func): Likewise for stat.
* tests/test-lstat.h (test_lstat_func): Likewise for lstat.
