daemon: Fix utimens so it doesn't hang on named pipes (RHBZ#761460).

This also adds comprehensive tests for utimens on regular files,
directories (RHBZ#761451), named pipes (RHBZ#761460), symbolic links,
block and char devices.

Note that there is a small change in the (previously undefined)
semantics of this call: It now sets the time on a symbolic link
itself, not on what the symbolic link points to.
