Add a new `-l`/`--list` option to show more details about the search results. This is basically
an alias for `--exec-batch ls -l` with some additional `ls` options.
This can be used in order to:
* see metadata like permissions, owner, file size, modification times (#491)
* see symlink targets (#482)
* achieve a deterministic output order (#324, #196, #159)
* avoid duplicate search results when multiple search paths are given (#405)
This new option can be used instead of piping to `head -n <count>` for
improved performance:
| Command | Mean [ms] | Min [ms] | Max [ms] | Relative |
|:---|---:|---:|---:|---:|
| `fd --max-buffer-time=0 flow.yaml` | 153.9 ± 2.5 | 151.3 | 170.3 | 4.21 ± 5.86 |
| `fd --max-buffer-time=0 flow.yaml \| head -n 1` | 145.3 ± 17.4 | 111.0 | 180.2 | 3.98 ± 5.55 |
| `fd --max-results=1 flow.yaml` | 36.5 ± 50.8 | 7.2 | 145.7 | 1.00 |
Note: there is a large standard deviation on the last result due to the
non-deterministic file system traversal. With `--max-results`, we don't
have to traverse the whole filesystem tree, so it's all about luck.
