[Toybox] [PATCH] 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.
