Subject: ls: restore 8.31 behavior on removed directories

* NEWS: Mention this.
* src/ls.c: Do not include <sys/sycall.h>
(print_dir): Don't worry about whether the directory is removed.
* tests/ls/removed-directory.sh: Adjust to match new (i.e., old)
behavior.

This patch is needed because coreutils 8.32 fails to build on ARM64
with:

src/ls.c: In function 'print_dir':
src/ls.c:3026:24: error: 'SYS_getdents' undeclared (first use in this function); did you mean 'SYS_getdents64'?
 3026 |           if (syscall (SYS_getdents, dirfd (dirp), NULL, 0) == -1
      |                        ^~~~~~~~~~~~
      |                        SYS_getdents64

   [The old behavior was introduced in sh-utils 2.0.15 ca. 1999, predating
   coreutils package.]
 
-  ls issues an error message on a removed directory, on GNU/Linux systems.
-  Previously no error and no entries were output, and so indistinguishable
-  from an empty directory, with default ls options.
-
   uniq no longer uses strcoll() to determine string equivalence,
   and so will operate more efficiently and consistently.
