CVS trunk, 2.3.5.7 experimental.

When there are multiple types of EOL bytes in file, EOL
style column shows something like:
Mixed: 5/23/18

Which is totally confusing for users. Mixed part they
can understand. But numbers aren't explained or can be
determined easily.

I can see those numbers can be useful sometimes. But
usually they are just noise. They just make text wider
so mixed status text is multiple times wider than other
statuses.

We can put explanations to those numbers in manual and
in column selection dialog's column description texts.
But even then, many (most?) users don't remember their
order.

    I think we just remove the numbers. Nobody really needs them.

    We can add that information to separate info-dialog for folder compare items.
