Jerry Aldrich III 3d7244fb07 Add wildcard support to Utils::FindFiles (#2159)
Wildcards are evaluated prior to applying `sudo` permissions. This
means that running `sudo find /some/path/*.conf` will fail if the user
does not have read permissions on `/some/path/` because the wildcard
cannot expand before `sudo` is applied and `*.conf` isn't a file.

The solution for this is to run the command in a subshell that has the
proper permissions (e.g. `sudo sh -c 'find /some/path/*.conf'`).

This modifies `Utils::FindFiles` to use a subshell thus allowing
wildcard support.

This fixes #2157
