ls: allow -w0 to mean no limit on line length
* src/ls.c (print_with_separator): Renamed from print_with_commas, and parameterized to accept the separator to print. Also fix an edge case where '\n' not printed when the POS variable overflows SIZE_MAX. (print_current_files): Degenerate -x and -C to using the cheaper print_with_separator() in the -w0 case. * doc/coreutils.texi (ls invocation): Document the new feature. * tests/ls/w-option.sh: A new test. * tests/local.mk: Reference the new test. * NEWS: Mention the improvement. Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/21325
