Fix overhead when loading directory

[glubsy]

• This avoids loading content of parent directories, only adding the
  requested directory.
• This drastically reduces the amount of fstat system calls, and avoid
  superfluous items in the response array, i.e. files from directories we
  don't necessarily care about.
• This should reduce timeouts when loading directories with large numbers
  of files.
  The timeout reduction will probably fix #753, fix #629, fix #518, fix #458, fix #752.

That changed the average loading time for folders from 10 seconds to 30ms. That is a huge improvement.

I'm not using h5ai so much any more and plus I don't have so much time to maintain a fork myself.

Hey you two, would maybe recommend you guys to have a look at some of the newer PRs, for an example, my PR for a useBrowserLang fix #863 or this PR #855, and maybe also some of the closed once
