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.
