[bug #62506] do-not-seek-the-unseekable.sh: result depends on "make -j<n>"

[Bjarni Ingi Gislason]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #62506 (project groff):

  The same result without this "make" option.

  The test for "/dev/stdin" to be a character device is harmful.

  The test is for a seekability, it does not matter what "/dev/stdin"
stands for.

  In my case (make -j) it is a pipe, which is not seekable, also the
test is positive, yes, true, PASS.

  If "/dev/stdin" is seekable, the test fails (FAIL), which should then
be examined.

  If "/dev/stdin" does not exist (-e /dev/stdin) then testing that has
no purpose and the result is PASS (the nonexistent item is not
seekable!).
