Change in flashrom[master]: avoid unnecessary syscalls in scanft()

[David Hendricks (Code Review)]

Hello Julius Werner, build bot (Jenkins),

I'd like you to reexamine a change. Please visit

https://review.coreboot.org/22491

to look at the new patch set (#2).

Change subject: avoid unnecessary syscalls in scanft()
......................................................................

avoid unnecessary syscalls in scanft()

This adds a test to see if the path given to scanft() is a symlink
or a directory before calling opendir() and readdir(). This cuts
down on syscalls which can be very slow.

BUG=none
BRANCH=none
TEST="flashrom -p host -i RW_ELOG:/tmp/elog.bin -r -V" ran on pit a
few hundred milliseconds faster (without other optimizations applied)
