ls -i: print consistent inode numbers also for mount points

On most unix- and linux-based kernels, ls -i DIR_CONTAINING_MOUNT_POINT
would print the wrong inode number for any entry that is a mount point.
It would do that by relying on readdir's dirent.d_ino values, while
most readdir implementations return the inode number of the underlying,
inaccessible directory.  Thus, it is not consistent with what you'd
get when applying stat to the same entry.  This bug led to surprising
results like "ls -i" and "ls -i --color" printing different numbers (ls
must usually "stat" a file to colorize its name).  This change makes it
so that on offending systems, ls must stat non-command-line-arguments
for which otherwise it would be able to use "for free" dirent.d_ino
values.  Regardless of this change, ls is already required to stat every
command-line argument.  Note: versions of GNU ls prior to coreutils-6.0
did not perform the invalid optimization, and hence always printed
correct inode numbers.  Thus, for the sake of correctness, ls -i is
