type.
(sort_args): Add "width" sort arg.
(cmp_width, fileinfo_width): New sort function and helper for file name
width.
(quote_name_width): Add function prototype declaration.
(usage): Document --sort=width option.
* doc/coreutils.texi: Document --sort=width option.
* tests/ls/sort-width-option.sh: New test for --sort=width option.
* tests/local.mk: Reference new test.
* NEWS: Mention the new feature.
