The current guestfs_find API call contains an undocumented limit: It needs to marshall the whole list of filenames into a single protocol message. Unfortunately just about any Linux guest breaks this limit if you try 'guestfs_find ("/")' so this isn't much use. These patches add a new API call (find0) which breaks this limit by using a FileOut parameter. It's slightly harder to use than guestfs_find, but better suited to program cases (guestfs_find remains, of course). We also update virt-ls to use this in the 'virt-ls -R' case.
