ls: don't output any colors with TERM=dumb

Browse Source 
The TERM variable is usually set to "dumb" to indicate that the terminal
does not support any ANSI escape sequences. Presently, ls does not honor
this variable and outputs colors anyhow which results in unreadable
output, unless the user explicitly disables colors using `ls
--color=never`. The rational behind this change is that ls should "just
work" by default, even on dumb terminals.

For this reason, this patch adds a check which additionally consults the
TERM variable before printing any colors. This is analogous to the
existing check for ensuring that standard output is a tty. As such,
colors can still be forced with `--color=force`, even if TERM is set to
dumb.
