Print full username and groupname for ls command

[Denys Vlasenko]

I think we can simply stop the truncation, like this:

-                               column += printf("%-8.8s %-8.8s ",
+                               column += printf("%-8s %-8s ",

without additional loop to measure max length.

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.
