Use the STATX_SUBVOL mask to request the stx_subvol field from
statx(), and detect subvolume roots by comparing a child directory's
subvolume ID with its parent's.  When the IDs differ, the directory
is a subvolume root and is coloured using the new 'sv' indicator
(default: cyan on blue, 36;34).

Thank you for taking the time to supply a patch.
I'm not 100% convinced of the need though because:

- why would one color subvolume points differently to say mount points
- adding colors to ls isn't generally extendable. It quickly gets confusing
- statx_subvol means something different on XFS
  (I think it just extends the inode space there)
- this is really only applicable to BTRFS right?
- Might a tool like findmnt be more appropriate for functionality like this

thanks,
