feat(vim.fs): pass path to find() predicate, lazy evaluate #22378
Problem: No easy way to find files under certain directories (ex: grab all files under `test/`) or exclude the content of certain paths (ex. `build/`, `.git/`) Solution: Pass the full `path` as an arg to the predicate.

The search can be narrowed to find only files or only directories by
specifying {type} to be "file" or "directory", respectively.
+ Examples: >lua
+
+ -- location of Cargo.toml from the current buffer's path
+ local cargo = vim.fs.find('Cargo.toml', {
+ upward = true,
+ stop = vim.loop.os_homedir(),
+ path = vim.fs.dirname(vim.api.nvim_buf_get_name(0)),
+ })
+
+ -- list all test directories under the runtime directory
+ local test_dirs = vim.fs.find(
+ {'test', 'tst', 'testdir'},
+ {limit = math.huge, type = 'directory', path = './runtime/'}
+ )
+
+ -- get all files ending with .cpp or .hpp inside lib/
+ local cpp_hpp = vim.fs.find(function(name, path)
+ return name:match('.*%.[ch]pp$') and path:match('[/\\]lib$')

Parameters: ~
- • {names} (string|table|fun(name: string): boolean) Names of the files
- and directories to find. Must be base names, paths and globs
- are not supported. The function is called per file and
- directory within the traversed directories to test if they
- match {names}.
+ • {names} (string|table|fun(name: string, path: string): boolean) Names
+ of the files and directories to find. Must be base names,
+ paths and globs are not supported when {names} is a string or
+ a table. If {names} is a function, it is called for each
+ traversed file and directory with args:
+ • name: base name of the current item
+ • path: full path of the current item The function should
+ return `true` if the given file or directory is considered
+ a match.
• {opts} (table) Optional keyword arguments:
• path (string): Path to begin searching from. If omitted,
the |current-directory| is used.
