ls: be responsive to interrupts when color-listing large directories
Starting with commit adc30a83, when using --color, ls inhibited
interrupts to avoid corrupting the state of an output terminal.
However, for very large directories, that inhibition rendered ls
uninterruptible for too long, including a potentially long period
even before any output is generated.
* src/ls.c: Two phases of processing are time-consuming enough that
they can provoke this: the readdir loop and the printing loop. The
printing was supposed to be covered by a call to process_signals in
(print_name_with_quoting): ... but that call was mistakenly guarded
by a condition that might be false for many or even all files being
processed. Call process_signals unconditionally.
(print_dir): Also call process_signals in the readdir loop.
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
