ls: avoid reading beyond end of color indicator
At first this looked like a buffer overrun, since there was no test to ensure that the buffer length was 6. However, since the LS_COLORS string is NUL-terminated and since settings within it are separated by ":" there was neither the risk of reading beyond end of buffer nor risk of a false-positive match. * src/ls.c (print_color_indicator): Use color_symlink_as_referent rather than manually comparing against "target" again. * src/system.h (STRNCMP_LIT): Correct description in comment.
