Make `global-so-long-mode' handle unrecognised file types

* lisp/so-long.el (so-long-target-modes): Add `fundamental-mode'

* etc/NEWS: Describe changes.

This doesn't affect buffers which are simply in `fundamental-mode' by
default.  It only affects buffers for which `set-auto-mode' has been
called (normally via `find-file') without establishing a different
major mode.
