Currently, we use:
```
f"find {RedpandaService.DATA_DIR} -type f -exec stat -c '%n %s' '{{}}' \\;"
```
as a way to stat all of the files in a `redpanda` directory on a node.
This is bad: with `-exec stat ... \;`, `find` runs one `stat` process per file.
We can do better simply by changing this command instead to:
```
f"find {RedpandaService.DATA_DIR} -type f -exec stat -c '%n %s' '{{}}' +"
```
Where `find` will batch as many files as possible to each `stat` call.
However, we can do even better by not using `-exec` at all:
```
f"find {RedpandaService.DATA_DIR} -ignore_readdir_race -type f -printf '%p %s\\n'"
```
Here, we don't need to fork any extra processes at all, and everything is
handled natively in `find`. Concurrent removal of files is silenced with
the flag `-ignore_readdir_race`.
This should fix timeouts in CI for tests with large numbers of files,
where 20+ minutes is spent waiting on these stat commands.
