cooker|command|event: add new command findFilesMatchingInDir

This command can be used to search each BBPATH for files in the passed
directory which have a filename matching the supplied pattern.

This is implemented for use from the GUI (to determine the available
PACKAGE_CLASSES) but has been written so as to be generically useful and
reusable.
