Clayton Craft 7a07a16ecb misc/getfiles: fix infinite recursion loop when given a symlink
This fixes an infinite recursion loop in getFile caused by:

1) `os.Stat(file)` resolves a symlink so that `fileInfo.isDir()` returns True
2) `filepath.Walk()` starts iterating on the root directory (in this case the symlink)
3) `filepath.Walk()` uses `os.Lstat` internally, which does NOT dereference the symlink
4) in the walk func, `f.isDir()` returns False, and the walk func calls `getFile()` on it
5) goto 1

fixes #47
