ls --color no longer outputs unnecessary escape sequences

In --color mode, plain files do not get any color, not even white.
When no highlighting is required, ls outputs no escape sequence at all.
* src/ls.c (print_with_color):
(used_color): New global.
(indicator_no) [C_RESET]: New enum value.
(indicator_name) ["rs"]: Corresponding new string.
(color_indicator): Make the 'normal' and 'file' markers be NULL.
Use "rs" (C_RESET) to reset to ordinary colors.
(process_signals): Restore default colors only if necessary.
(main): Don't call prep_non_filename_text here.
(print_name_with_quoting): Call it here, instead.
(prep_non_filename_text): Use C_RESET, not C_NORM.
(print_color_indicator): Return bool, not void.
Print nothing, when possible.
(put_indicator): Call prep_non_filename_text the first time.
* tests/misc/ls-misc: Test for above.
* tests/ls/color-dtype-dir: Adapt: no escapes around regular file name.
* TODO: Remove item.
* NEWS: Mention this.

   configure --enable-no-install-program=groups now works.

   ls no longer segfaults on files in /proc when linked with an older version
   of libselinux.  E.g., ls -l /proc/sys would dereference a NULL pointer.
 
   "rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty" detects and ignores the failure
   in more cases when a directory is empty.
