LARGEST command in FileUtils plugin

[Joe Caverly]

In regards to the new LARGEST command from the FileUtils plugin;

I especially like the /M: option,
allowing output to an array instead of STDOUT.

I can see where output to an array instead of STDOUT would be useful in other TCC commands.

Piping to @EXECARRAY might be faster. I don't know, I haven't tested. But probably.
