`hpcloud/tail` supports tailing named pipe if we tell it to do so. This patch detects if the tailed file is a named pipe and configure `hpcloud/tail` accordingly. Note that it probably works only on Unix. Signed-off-by: Brice Figureau <brice@daysofwonder.com>

Hi @jwilder, This patch works AFAIK, but I had some stability issues with inotify and named pipes that are not related to It's up to you to decide if you want to merge the change or not. Anyway, thanks for dockerize, it's a very useful tool! |

@masterzen Thanks. It looks pretty harmless to merge. |

As seen in #100, it is impossible to tail a named pipe. This adds the necessary code to configure
hpcloud/tailwhen the tailed file is a fifo.
