match: adding support for matching files inside a directory
This adds a new "rootfilesin" matcher type which matches files inside a
directory, but not any subdirectories (so it matches non-recursively).
This has the "root" prefix per foozy's plan for other matchers (rootglob,
rootpath, cwdre, etc.).
