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.
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.
See the README section for more details. Basically, with this way, we can store a bunch of existing valid exa outputs, change a VM's environment to match our values, then check that exa still works by comparing outputs.
This patch adds a Makefile that will build and install exa along with
its recently added manual page. This provides a little bit of a nicer
installation path while we wait for Cargo to, hopefully, provide its own
built-in installation method for packages that contain binaries.

These were completely missing because I forgot about them... I added sorting functionality before I added date functionality, but it turns out I didn't even need the datetime library to do this!
However, this implementation feels incomplete. If you sort by the accessed date, it still displays the modified date, so the dates still look out of order. If I were to change the date column for the user, though, then there would still be no header to signify that the column has changed. I'm not sure how to proceed with this, but this is still missing functionality, so in it goes.
This makes it more like ls. The --long (-l) argument has been added to get at the old behaviour, and the --links argument is now on -H. I can't crib this behaviour from ls because it shows it by default.
TODO: The terminal size is currently assumed to be 80, and it uses the string length, rather than the width.
