    ls(1): Restore the traditional behavior of -f implying -a.
    
    OpenBSD's commit msg:
    
    ------
    restore the traditional behavior of -f implying -a; apparently Keith Bostic
    forgot to restore it when the -f flag was put back on 2nd of September 1989,
    after being removed on 16th of August as a consequence of issues getting it
    working over NFS, so deviation from traditional UNIX behavior in all BSDs
    looks like an historical accident; as a side effect, this change accommodates
    behavior of this option to IEEE Std 1003.1-2008 (``POSIX.1'').
    
    joint work with jmc@ (who found the inaccuracy in our implementation),
    schwarze@ (who provided a detailed tracking of historical facts) and millert@
    
    ok millert@, schwarze@
    ------
    
    The same patch has been pushed to NetBSD and FreeBSD too.
