59d9e90f20 Replace “mi” colour with “bO” overlay
Fixes #288, but more-or-less as a side-effect.

The “mi” key in LS_COLORS was meant to be used for a missing link path, but it wasn’t really used like that. There was also a bug where control characters in a broken symlink’s path were assumed to be underlined, because that’s what happened in the default colour scheme, but this assumption doesn’t hold when colours were disabled.

The solution to these was not to introduce another configurable colour code, but to start using _overlays_ to alter a bunch of colours at once. The “mi” code will have to be added back later.

c475cccce4 Flip the new/old order, and add suggestion for -lt
I changed my mind about which way round sorting by “newest” or by “oldest” should actually go. If you’re listing a large directory, you see the last lines of the output first, so these files should be the ones with the largest whatever the sort field is. It’s about sorting *last*, not sorting *first*. Sorting by size wouldn’t say “sorts smallest files first”, it would say “sorts largest files last”. Right?

Also, add a new suggestion that warns against “ls -lt”.

0fefc78cbb Add more modified date aliases
I don’t really see the modified date as the *modified* date, rather just the *date* field, because it’s the date field I refer to like 99.9% of the time. So now it has aliases to match.

Also are included are aliases for the reverse order, because I’d rather write “new” than “the reverse of old”.

57c647fee5 Default to sorting case-insensitively
This was touched on in #209 where I got the docs wrong compared to the actual implementation, but after thinking about it, I’d like to switch it round. (The --sort=Name and --sort=name difference has also been switched.) See the big ol’ comment for my reasons.

Because this changes core functionality, it broke many, many tests. You can see that this doesn’t change the -star- tests because the shell, rather than exa, orders the globbed files.

I kept on forgetting which way round Sensitive and Insensitive went, so I named them after the effect they have.

e2f73927c7 Make all the option descriptions the same
The old option descriptions were all written at different times, and needed some consistency. This makes everything consistent between the help text, README, man page, and shell completions, and fixes some mistakes made when writing them.

This also adds the missing options to the man page, fixing #175.
