Summary:                    patch: implement "--color" option for ls coloring
control
Description: 
currently, if ls coloring is configured, there's no way to disable coloring
if it's not wanted. since the colors aren't configurable, this can result
in illegible output (particularly on screens with light backgrounds).  the
workarounds for this are somewhat inconvenient.

this patch implements the GNU "--color" option, to allow full control over
coloring.  the default behavior is now "no coloring", but this default has
been made configurable for those that want full backward compatibility
with previous releases.  ("--color" was implemented because there is no
GNU short-option equivalent.  this is the only long option supported by
busybox ls.)
