bug#62096: 30.0.50; find-dired, dired-goto-file and spaces

[Manuel Giraud]

Hi,

So here is a patch that should fix *BSD and macOS.  For Windows, I don't
know if it is the right fix (so it does nothing on Windows, sorry Drew).

I choose "-dgils" because FreeBSD, NetBSD and macOS man pages state the
following about -ls switch for find(1):
The format is identical to that produced by "ls -dgils".

On OpenBSD, the find(1) man page says:
The format is identical to that produced by "ls -dils".

But the "-g" switch does not seems to do something different when the
"-l" is present.

For testing without recompiling Emacs, one could evaluate this:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq find-ls-option-default-ls
  (cons "-ls" (if (or (eq system-type 'berkeley-unix)
                      (eq system-type 'darwin))
                  "-dgils"
                "-dilsb")))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Daniel: I'd like to hear what it does on macOS.

Drew: You could test on your system by "forcing"
'find-ls-option-default-ls' with the following:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq find-ls-option-default-ls (cons "-ls" "-dils"))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

This patch was produce on the main branch but FWIW I think it should
also go on emacs-29.
