tests: abmon-align: avoid test failure
* tests/ls/abmon-align: Don't remove (1d;) the first line of output. That was making the test consider only 11 of 12 month names. Rewrite not to use \(.*\), as that provoked a malfunction in GNU sed on powerpc Mac OS X (though we don't know yet whether this is due to a sed bug, or to miscompilation). Nelson Beebe reported the test failure.
