Fix DIRENT_HAS_TYPE to work on filesystems that don't support it #9

This bug bit me hard on XFS; every file was seen as "not a file" because XFS returns d_type of DT_UNKNOWN instead of DT_REG since XFS doesn't cache the type in a way that readdir() can retrieve "for free." This fix allows for fallback to stat() when d_type returns something dupd can't use and restores normal behavior.

Cool, thanks! I have never run on XFS.
