Fix another bug: ls --indicator-style=file-type would call
stat for a symlink, even though it wasn't always needed. In some cases, that unnecessary stat would cause ls to fail. * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Don't treat symlinks specially (in requiring a stat syscall). Remove the offending exclusion. * NEWS: Mention the fix. * tests/ls/stat-dtype: New file/test, for the above fix. Also exercises the new df feature, below.
