Adding Emacs Dired Support

[gopar]

Emacs has a built in tool for viewing files/directories called Dired and GNU Coreutils has the --dired option within ls to complement that.

Man page states:

-D, --dired
              generate output designed for Emacs' dired mode

And from their comments in source file it seems like this option formats the output differently for easier parsing in emacs.

Would be nice to have this baked in into exa as well.

This added feature would be incredible.

exa is unmaintained (see https://github.com/ogham/exa/issues/1243), please open an issue for the the active fork eza.

Yeah, I know. Someone should suggest this for the eza repo.
