When the ORPHAN property is disabled in dircolors, ls --color does not stat()
symlinks. However, in this case symlinks are not colored using the LINK
property.

How to reproduce:
$ eval $(dircolors -p | sed 's/^ORPHAN.*/ORPHAN 00/' | dircolors -)
$ mkdir /tmp/xxx
$ ln -s /tmp/nowhere /tmp/xxx/yyy
$ ls --color /tmp/xxx

Expected output:
yyy, colored cyan (default for LINK)

Actual output:
yyy, not colored

Fix attached. Basically, in gobble_file(), assume a symlink is ok if stat() is
not run on it.

Thanks,
M
