All the DT_* are hints, according to the man pages, which say that
DT_UNKNOWN must be handled by the caller.  So I guess it depends on
whether the original developers knew this and weren't worried about
accuracy, or if there were no filesystems that ever returned DT_UNKNOWN
for regular files, so it was decided to always include "I don't know"'s
as a "future proofing" option.

Doesn't matter to me either way, of course.
