Description:
Test 'parts.partition_basic_symlink_myisam' depends on output of 'ls',
making it fail on some platforms. Also Windows portability of the test
case is a problem. On HP-UX 11.23 the failure is caused by the diff

How to repeat:
Run this test case on HP-UX 11.24, Solaris or other platform with
a "ls" that differs in error output than the expected Linux one.

      'ls' have portable problems (not exact the same behavior on all systems,
      does not exits on windows).
      
      So I added list_files that relies on the portable mysys library instead.
      (and also list_files_write_file and list_files_append_file,
      since the test was using '--exec ls' in that way.

Ok to push.

Tested on both Mac OSX and Windows without issue.

      The problem is that relying on the output of the 'ls' command is not
      portable as its behavior is not the same between systems and it might
      even not be available at all in (Windows).
      
      So I added list_files that relies on the portable mysys library instead.
      (and also list_files_write_file and list_files_append_file,
      since the test was using '--exec ls' in that way.)
