libdwfl: dwfl_linux_proc_find_elf should only return regular files.

When the dwfl_linux_proc_find_elf callback is used together with the
dwfl_linux_proc_report callback that reads /proc/PID/maps files we might
see and try to open special character device files that cannot be normally
read and processed by libelf (and might hang the library on the initial
open or read from the file). Make sure we only try to open and return
regular files.
