(eshell-ls-file): There are times with size-width is nil and

uncomputed (when directories are created in dired, for example); in
this case, 4 is reasonable default value, although it may caused
skewed new entries (which could be avoided by returning the original
value of 8 in all cases, but 99% of the time this is a waste of
whitespace).
