[bug #45930] -ignore_readdir_race ineffective in find 4.5.11 and 4.5.14

Follow-up Comment #9, bug #45930 (group findutils):

The problem seems to be simple fairly simple (but not necessarily simple to
solve):

gnulib/lib/ftc.c (FTC) seems to have no support for ignoring the readdir race
(-ignore_readdir_race).

This means that when find recurses into a subdirectory, it complains when that
subdirectory doesn't exist.

So, there are 2 choices:

* Plumb an option all the way through FTC to support ignoring the readdir
race
* Drop (or ignore) -ignore_readdir_race completely and ignore the race
unconditionally, everywhere.  After all, this is "find", not "not found". ;-)
I doubt anyone cares about things that aren't found.  If they were in a
directory, but don't seem to be there anymore, then they are gone... not
found!
