ls: fix %%b format and precompute more
The old code mishandled --time-spec='+%%b', as it misinterpreted the '%b' as being the month abbreviation. Also, it mishandled the extremely unlikely case of a month abbreviation containing '%'. The performance part of this patch sped up 'ls' by about 1% on my little benchmark of 'ls -lR' on the source directory in the en_US.UTF-8 locale (Fedora 24 x86-64). * NEWS: Document the bug fix. * src/ls.c (first_percent_b, abformat_init): New static functions. (ABFORMAT_SIZE): New constant. (use_abformat): New static var. (abmon, required_mon_width): Remove these static vars. (abmon_init): Now accepts a pointer to abmon, and returns a boolean. All callers changed. Reject month abbrs containing '%', as these would mess up strftime. Simplify mbsalign result checking, since (size_t) -1 exceeds ABFORMAT_SIZE. (abformat_init, align_nstrftime): Precompute all 24 formats at startup, rather than computing a format for each time stamp. (decode_switches): Call abformat_init instead of abmon_init. (align_nstrftime): Accept recentness bool instead of format. All callers changed. * tests/misc/time-style.sh: Test for format with '%%b'.
