This change enables tail -f to use inotify and lets
stat -f --format=%T report the file system type name, "zfs".
* src/stat.c (human_fstype): Add a case: zfs, 0x2fc12fc1.
* NEWS (Improvements): Mention it.
* THANKS.in: Update.

** Improvements
stat and tail work better with ZFS. stat -f --format=%T now reports the
file system type, "zfs", and tail -f now uses inotify for files on ZFS
file systems, rather than the default (for unknown file system types)
of polling.
* Noteworthy changes in release 8.19 (2012-08-20) [stable]
