Thank you for doing this.

I too think we should have a general ends_with, I for one had to code one just
this week. However, I do not think it should support non-null-terminated
strings.

Note that when str is not null-terminated and both str_len and tail_len are
zeroes &str[str_len - tail_len] will dereference one character after the end
before taking a reference to it again, which would be a UB. (Won't happen in
your case of course since your tail is always non-empty, but may happen if this
function is moved into a general-use library.)

I do not think we should try to handle the non-null-terminated dent->d_name
case here, I'd just delete nlen and everything related to it. To be
super-defensive we could add a check that `memchr(dent->d_name, 0,
sizeof(dent->d_name)) != NULL`, but I don't think it's needed.
