Using the -s flag on devices is extraordinarily slow due to using fseek(3) a little too conservatively. Address this by using fseek on character/block devices as well, falling back to getchar(3) only if we fail to seek or we're operating on tape drives, where fseek may succeed while not actually being supported.
