    stand: lua: enhance lfs.dir() to speed up kernels_autodetect
    
    This eliminates a lot of stat() calls that happen when lualoader renders the
    menu with the default settings, and greatly speeds up rendering on my
    laptop.
    
    ftype is nil if loader/loader.efi hasn't been updated yet, falling back to
    lfs.attributes() to test.
    
    This is technically incompatible with lfs, but not in a particularly
    terrible way.
    
    (cherry picked from commit e25ee296c919d6567aa76058a7049eac974797fb)
