path/filepath: add WalkDir

WalkDir is like Walk but can use ReadDir to read directories,
instead of Readdirnames + Lstat on every entry,
which is usually a significant performance improvement.
(The Lstat can still happen if the walk function calls d.Info.)

Fixes #42027.

[Replay of CL 266240 after it was reverted due to accidentally
enabling on Windows a test that does not work on Windows.
The original code only ran the test on os.Getuid() > 0.
The rolled-back CL skipped the test on os.Getuid() == 0.
But on Windows, os.Getuid(), it turns out, always returns -1.
So what looked like a test for root was also excluding Windows.
This CL revises the test to skip Windows explicitly.]

+//
+// WalkDir calls the function with a non-nil err argument in two cases.
+//
+// First, if the initial os.Lstat on the root directory fails, WalkDir
+// calls the function with path set to root, d set to nil, and err set to
+// the error from os.Lstat.
+//
+// Second, if a directory's ReadDir method fails, WalkDir calls the
+// function with path set to the directory's path, d set to an
+// fs.DirEntry describing the directory, and err set to the error from
+// ReadDir. In this second case, the function is called twice with the
+// path of the directory: the first call is before the directory read is
+// attempted and has err set to nil, giving the function a chance to
+// return SkipDir and avoid the ReadDir entirely. The second call is
+// after a failed ReadDir and reports the error from ReadDir.
+// (If ReadDir succeeds, there is no second call.)
+//
+// The differences between WalkDirFunc compared to WalkFunc are:
+//
+//   - The second argument has type fs.DirEntry instead of fs.FileInfo.
+//   - The function is called before reading a directory, to allow SkipDir
+//     to bypass the directory read entirely.
+//   - If a directory read fails, the function is called a second time
+//     for that directory to report the error.
