Does /files/list_folder endpoint guarantee that it will return requested folder as one of the entries?

We don't have a documented guarantee for this, but the expected behavior is that an entry will be returned for the requested folder when recursive=True, but not for recursive=False. (The exception is that we never return an entry for the root folder "".) We behavior shouldn't change.
