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.
