Print full username and groupname for ls command

Hi maintainer,

Currently, when using ls, only the first 8 characters of the username and group name are printed, with the rest being truncated. However, there are often long usernames and group names, and limiting them to 8 characters can cause confusion and potential security vulnerabilities. Therefore, it would be beneficial to be able to print the full username/group name when using ls.

I'm sending the patch I've mentioned for this. Can I hear your opinion?
