[PATCH] ignore bad filetypes rather than failing

[John A Meinel]

The attached patch is available at:

(revisions 1217-1218)

There was a request on IRC for being able to handle directories that
have a socket in them. This change makes bzr allow them, but ignore
them, rather than
Basically it makes bzr have some knowledge about fifo/socket/block/etc
type files. It doesn't try to version them, and adding them is still an
error. It just changes osutils.file_kind() return a valid string, rather
than aborting.

Looking at the rest of the code, it handles these kinds properly. Most
places have "if kind != 'file' or kind != 'directory'" so they trap for
bad types.

I added some test cases for this, but mkfifo/etc doesn't exist on all
platforms. So on Windows the test won't really do much.
