dvc list doesn't list contents of dvc-tracked folders
## Bug Report

`dvc list` does not ever seem to list folders or subfolders within a dvc file. If there are dvc files tracking single files, then I do see the file in `dvc list`, but if I am tracking an entire folder, I do not get anything. DVC would need to download all the .dir files associated with dvc files, which it does not seem to be doing during `dvc list`

### Please provide information about your setup

**Output of `dvc version`:**

```console
 → dvc version  
DVC version: 1.0.1
Python version: 3.7.6
Platform: Linux-5.4.0-37-generic-x86_64-with-debian-bullseye-sid
