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.]
