The total sum of blocks for the -l and -s option is printed always,

regardless whether the output is to a terminal or not.  As this is
consistent with the SUSPv2 specification (even though we do not
otherwise fully implement SUSPv2's ls(1) options), document this as it
is now, rather than trying to change the behaviour itself.
