`layout` config-option: long

[goyalyashpal]

not a bug, but a feature request...

$ #- os: 
$ inxi --system | tail -n1
  Desktop: Cinnamon v: 6.0.4 Distro: NixOS 24.05 (Uakari)

$ lsd --version
lsd 1.1.2

$ echo $TERM
xterm-256color

$ echo $LS_COLORS
...

Expected behavior

• the layout config option has some value say "long" to specify long-listing i.e. equivalent to -l or --long cli flag.
• documentation for blocks itself mentions this :smile: https://github.com/lsd-rs/lsd/blob/9b310da60085eace5b03c0eba6a3cfa6cbf378de/README.md?plain=1#L143-L145

Actual behavior

layout only accepts grid, tree, oneline and errors out 3 times at long value.

$ lsd
lsd: Configuration file /home/.../.config/lsd/config.yaml format error, layout: unknown variant `long`, expected one of `grid`, `tree`, `oneline` at line 4 column 9.

lsd: Configuration file /home/.../.config/lsd/config.yaml format error, layout: unknown variant `long`, expected one of `grid`, `tree`, `oneline` at line 4 column 9.

i just realised that it would require an option in CLI to enable the grid layout lol i.e. to override the long layout specified in the config.

Adding a +1 on this.

My config file includes

# == Blocks ==
# This specifies the columns and their order when using the long and the tree
# layout.
# Possible values: permission, user, group, context, size, date, name, inode, links, git
blocks:
  - permission
  - user
  - group
  - size
  - date
  - name

# == Layout ==
# Which layout to use. "oneline" might be a bit confusing here and should be
# called "one-per-line". It might be changed in the future.
# Possible values: grid, tree, oneline
layout: tree

Which gives this
