Description

Sometimes it's not enough only for check for file size, creation/modify date etc. from files in a directory. Therefore it is sometimes necessary to additionally search for a file content (pattern). It would be great to have such a possibility with an additional parameter.

Because I forked the check already for us with such a new param, I will create a PR with this change.

Research direction

Start at the Invoke-IcingaCheckDirectory implementation and inspect how its existing file size and creation/modify-date checks accept parameters. Confirm the intended pattern-matching semantics and add coverage for matching and non-matching file content; done means content-pattern matching works alongside the existing directory checks.
