ls: give a more useful diagnostic for a bogus --time-style arg
* src/ls.c (decode_switches): Replace our use of XARGMATCH with open-coded version so that we can give a better diagnostic. * tests/ls/time-style-diag: New file. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it. Reported by Dan Jacobson in http://bugs.gnu.org/10253 with suggestions from Eric Blake and Paul Eggert.
