Bug#737361: higan: nall::directory doesn't handle symlinks/DT_UNKNOWN correctly

Package: higan
Version: 094-2
Severity: important
Tags: patch

The game library and import dialog don't work at all on my system with
the packaged version of higan:
 * I'm not able to navigate to the directories I want to use, because I
   have symlinks pointing to them: symlinks to directories are treated
   as files, and filtered out based on the filename pattern.
 * Even after navigating to the link's target, no directories are
   visible.  Most of my filesystems use XFS, which doesn't fill d_type
   in readdir (it sets DT_UNKNOWN); so these are also treated as files
   and filtered out.
 * If I manage to import a file by navigating to its parent directory,
   it never appears in the Famicom / Super Famicom / etc. tabs, because
   files get converted to directories when imported and directories get
   filtered out as described above.  (There's apparently no way to load
   things without going through the library--e.g., on the command line.)

The attached patch fixes these functions.
