Arv-put tries to open non-regular files
Description
A customer reported an issue when trying to use arv-put on paths that include special files (like named pipes), and already provided a patch for it:

Might need to check isdir() too -- looks like the provided patch will skip symlinks to directories even when follow-symlinks is enabled. But I think skipping special files like fifos and char/block devices would be an improvement. Hard to imagine a use case for actually trying to copy them. Seems like "cat fifo | arv-put -" would always be a better way to do that, if someone actually wants to.

I think dirs aren't included in that loop, because this part of the code is inside a os.walk() call loop, that handles directories separately.

Test run: developer-run-tests: #2816
- Adds test exposing the bug.
- Applies suggested changes, fixing the problem.
The symlinked directories aren't affected and we already have a test that confirms that: test_arv_put.ArvPutUploadJobTest.test_symlinks_are_followed_by_default.

Test run: developer-run-tests: #2817
- Improves test confirming that symlinked directories aren't affected.
- Terminates producer process before any assertion, to avoid potencial test lockups.

Aha, yes, dirs are returned separately by os.walk so I didn't need to worry about the symlink-to-dir case.
LGTM, thanks!
