tail: fix -f to follow changes after a rename
* src/tail.c (tail_forever_inotify): Only monitor write()s and
truncate()s to files in --follow=descriptor mode, thus avoiding
the bug where we removed the watch on renamed files.
Also adjust the inotify event processing code that is
now significant only in --follow=name mode.
* tests/tail-2/F-vs-rename.sh: Improve this existing test by running
in both polling and inotify modes.
* tests/tail-2/f-vs-rename.sh: A new test based on the existing one.
* tests/local.mk: Reference the new test.
* NEWS: Mention the bug.
