Description

ls: Improve POSIX compatibility for -g and -n.

Change -g (ignored for BSD 4.3 compatibility since BSD 4.4) to use POSIX semantics of implying -l but omitting the owner's name.

Change -n to imply -l.

The -o option remains unchanged (POSIX defines -o as a complement to
-g that implies -l but omits group names whereas BSD defines -o to add
file flags to -l). This compromise is the same used by both NetBSD
and OpenBSD.
