In today's CI run, the ls/line-separator test fails on

Here are the logs from Alpine Linux and from macOS 26.
The other three logs are probably similar.
That's because U+2028 (LINE SEPARATOR) and U+2029 (PARAGRAPH SEP)
are considered as printable on those systems.
That's inconsistent with U+0085 (NEXT LINE) and U+000A (LINE FEED)
which are considered non-printable.
It's not particularly problematic though as terminals
render U+2028 and U+2029 horizontally in my testing.
So I pushed this commit to skip the test on such systems:
