test(symlinkguard): pin the alert for a special file Watch cannot remove (#179)
Review round 1 on PR #190:
- B1: dropping the unremovable special files from Watch's persistent
  finding left every test green. New test: a FIFO in a read-only dir
  stays and the alert names it; red under that flip.
- The removeSpecial doc and test comment no longer claim a regular file
  swapped in is always left alone: the re-check narrows, but cannot close,
  the window before the unlink (as in removeSymlinks).
- Messages: the special-file finding says what one is and to delete it;
  the persistent alert no longer talks only about symlinks.
- Rule 9: the Watch removal test is named for what it observes.
