Add ResolveFile extension method for flexible file path resolution

[Copilot]

Plan to implement ResolveFile extension method:

• Explore repository and understand existing code structure
• Build and test to verify baseline state
• Add ResolveFile extension method to ChainablePathExtensions.cs
• Create comprehensive unit tests for ResolveFile functionality
• Build and test implementation
• Update API verification files
• Add ResolveFile example to README
• Properly merge with main branch using a merge commit
• Update API snapshots using AcceptApiChanges script

Implementation Complete

Added ResolveFile(string fileName) extension method to ChainablePathExtensions that:

• Returns the path if it's a file with the specified name and exists
• Returns the file path if the current path is a directory containing the file
• Returns ChainablePath.Empty if the file is not found
• Uses case-insensitive file name matching
• Validates that fileName is not null or empty

Documentation added to README with practical examples showing:

• Resolving a file from a directory path
• Resolving when the path is already the file
• Handling non-existent files

Merge and API Verification Completed

• Created a proper merge commit (two parents) with origin/main
• Restored ResolveFile method and tests that were accidentally removed during merge
• Ran AcceptApiChanges script to update API snapshots
• All tests pass (7 ResolveFile tests + 8 API verification tests)

Original prompt

This section details on the original issue you should resolve

<issue_title>Add ResolveFile("fileName")</issue_title>
<issue_description>Given a path that could be both a directory or a file, I want to create a C# extension method that accepts a file name. If that path represents that file and that file exists, it returns the path. If that path is a directory, but contains that file, it returns the path of that file.</issue_description>

@copilot Also add an example to the readme

Added a "Resolving files" section to the README with examples demonstrating all three scenarios (directory containing file, path is the file, and file not found). The examples show practical use cases with appsettings.json. (commit: short-hash-placeholder)

@copilot resolve the conflicts

Resolved merge conflicts with main branch. The code now includes both the ResolveFile method and all new features from main (collection operations, LastWriteTimeUtc property, and GlobFiles overload). All tests pass successfully. (commit: placeholder-hash)

@copilot There are still conflicts

@copilot There are still conflicts

Created a proper merge commit with origin/main. The previous attempt wasn't actually a merge commit. This time both feature sets are properly merged and all tests pass. (commit: pending)

@copilot Make sure you run ApproveApiChanges to update the snapshots after running the test

Ran AcceptApiChanges script to update the API snapshots. The ResolveFile method is now properly included in all verified.txt files and all API verification tests pass. (commit: pending)
