doc: clarify ambiguous rdev description
Replace "is considered 'special'" with "represents a device". The latter is more clear and is derived from the stat() man page. The former is also derived from the man page, but is ambiguous because: * "considered" introduces doubt. Is it, or isn't it? * "special" is never defined. "represents a device" communicates more meaning. * "special" is in scare-quotes, introducing more doubt as to what exactly it means.
