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.
