FISH: device file shows always major/minor 0:0

[ahauras]

steps to reproduce the problem:

1. Open fish(ssh) connection
2. navigate to /dev
3. check that source minor/major of all special files is (0,0)
4. copy file to local host (as root), all files copied as minor:major (0,0)

What is the expected output?
Showing and copying device files with correct (major:minor)
OR
If it is not possible, give error ("copying special files not supported") while copying such files.

What do you see instead?
Files copied as minor:major (0,0) and it makes such files totally useless (and possibly dangerous)

Thanks for reporting, ahauras.

Currently mc fish helper provide no major/minor info for block/char devices.

attached patch will fix it.
