Use file notification in autorevert also for recreated files

* lisp/autorevert.el (auto-revert-mode)
(global-auto-revert-mode, auto-revert-notify-add-watch)
(auto-revert-notify-handler, auto-revert-handler): Do not use
buffer local `auto-revert-use-notify' anymore.

* test/lisp/autorevert-tests.el
(auto-revert-test02-auto-revert-deleted-file): Adapt test in
order to check, that file notification is reenabled when possible.
