### Description
This PR seems to have introduced erroneous documentation https://github.com/ipfs/kubo/pull/7755. `ipfs files ls /ipfs/` errors.
Solutions are to either revert that line and make it clear it only does MFS (unlike `ipfs files stat`) and direct people to `ipfs ls` or add support for `/ipfs` in `ipfs files ls` as we have for `ipfs files stat`. Of course this comes with the same caveat as for `stat` that life is hard for anyone who has decided to use `/ipfs` as a folder in their MFS root.
