[Bug 2132368] [NEW] unaligned plus in "ls -l" output

[Sander van Malssen]

Public bug reported:

When I do an "ls -l" or "ls -ld" on certain directories I get the
expected output from GNU ls, for example:

$ /usr/bin/gnuls -ld /home/svm/Dropbox /home/svm/Desktop
drwxrwxr-x 2 svm svm 4096 Nov 24 22:42 /home/svm/Desktop
drwx------ 7 svm svm 4096 Nov 24 13:42 /home/svm/Dropbox

But with Rust ls I get an extra "+" sign with some dirs and not with
others, like this:

$ /usr/lib/cargo/bin/coreutils/ls -ld /home/svm/Dropbox /home/svm/Desktop
drwxrwxr-x 2 svm svm 4096 Nov 24 22:42 /home/svm/Desktop
drwx------+ 7 svm svm 4096 Nov 24 13:42 /home/svm/Dropbox

(note the extra "+" there in "drwx------+"). This results in messy
output (especially with an "ls -l" on your home dir instead of the "ls
-ld" in the example above) that is harder to read than the GNU ls
output. Also the meaning of this '+' doesn't seem to be documented
anywhere.
