file, stat: various small improvements.
file now shows the target of a symbolic link and calls out broken symbolic links. file now shows the device type for block/character special files. file now shows specific reason when it can't open. stat now includes the device type, plus a little more space between the number of blocks and the human-readable file type. Adjusted tests accordingly, which actually makes more of them pass on the host as a convenient side-effect, but I actually made these changes because I've been finding the desktop file and stat output more convenient in these cases.
