Idiom #144 Check if file exists

Set boolean b to true if file at path fp exists on filesystem; false otherwise.

Beware that you should not do this and then in the next instruction assume the result is still valid, this is a race condition on any multitasking OS.

import System.Directory
b = doesFileExist fp
with Ada.Directories;
B : constant Boolean := Ada.Directories.Exists (FP);
