Teach tail -F to work on file that doesn't initially exist (needed

new lib/ flag), allow -s to be fraction of a second, inline (anonymous)
struct so globals.h isn't using an incomplete type, blank line in
GLOBALS() between option args and other variables, collate
tail_continue() to one function, add test.
