Subject: [PATCH] ls: increase the allowed abmon width from 5 to 12

This will impact relatively few languages,
and will make Arabic or Catalan etc.
output unambiguous abbreviated month names.

* src/ls.c (MAX_MON_WIDTH): Increase from 5 to 12.
* tests/ls/abmon-align.sh: Augment to check for ambiguous output.
Fixes https://bugs.gnu.org/30814
