file_watch: don't watch special files 

While /dev/null is always empty, it still generates inotify events. So
using /dev/null as config file will cause the compositor to reset itself
frequently.

Not entire sure if only allowing regular files is sufficient, but we
will be doing this until an issue comes up.

Fixes #320
