Subject: chown,chgrp: output the correct ownership in -v messages

* src/chown_core.c (describe_change): Accept the ownership of
the original file and output that when not changing.
This is significant when --from is specified as then
the original and specified ownership may be different.
(user_group_str): A new helper function refactored from
describe_change().
(change_file_owner): Pass the original user and group
strings to describe_change().
* test/chown/basic: Add a test case.
* NEWS: Mention the fix.

 ** Bug fixes
 
+  chown and chgrp with the -v --from= options, now output the correct owner.
+  I.E. for skipped files, the original ownership is output, not the new one.
+  [bug introduced in sh-utils-2.0g]
+
   printf '%d' '"' no longer accesses out-of-bounds memory in the diagnostic.
   [bug introduced in sh-utils-1.16]
