ls: don't segfault on files in /proc with an old libselinux
* src/ls.c (gobble_file): Work around a bug in libselinux1-2.0.15 whereby getfilecon returns 0 yet sets the context to NULL. Reported by Jan Moringen via Michael Stone in http://bugs.debian.org/463043 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add proc-selinux-segfault. * tests/ls/proc-selinux-segfault: Test for the above fix. * NEWS: Mention the fix.

** Bug fixes
+ 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.
+
Fix a non-portable use of sed in configure.ac.
[bug introduced in coreutils-6.9.92]
