ls: print "?", not "0" as inode of dereferenced dangling symlink
ls prints inode numbers two ways: for long (-l) listings, and for short ones, e.g., ls -li and ls -i. The code to print long listings properly printed "?" when the inode was unknown, but the code for handling short listings would print 0 instead. Factor out the formatting code into a new function so ls prints the right string ("?") from both places: * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. * src/ls.c (format_inode): New function. (print_long_format): Use it here. (print_file_name_and_frills): Use it here, too. * tests/ls/dangle: Exercise this fix. Reported by Yang Ren in http://bugzilla.redhat.com/525400
