[OE-core] [PATCH] coreutils: revert upstream commit causing havoc with ls output

[Paul Gortmaker]

A recent commit causes ls to have the following behaviour:

   meta-overc:~$ mkdir abc
   meta-overc:~$ cd abc
   meta-overc:~/abc$ touch  aaaa bbbb 'filename with spaces'
   meta-overc:~/abc$ ls
   aaaa  bbbb  'filename with spaces'
   meta-overc:~/abc$

Note the appearance of quotation marks.  This new behaviour was
introduced as "opt-out" and not "opt-in", and further, the opt-out
suggestion causes other breakage.  More details can be found here:

  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=813164

Several large distros are voting with their feet and actively
reverting the change, as per what can be seen above for Debian.

Here we do the same; I've marked the patch as upstream inappropriate
since it doesn't appear that the coreutils folks are going to change
the default back to the old way based on what we do here.
