wildmatch: adjust "**" behavior
Standard wildmatch() sees consecutive asterisks as "*" that can also match slashes. But that may be hard to explain to users as "abc/**/def" can match "abcdef", "abcxyzdef", "abc/def", "abc/x/def", "abc/x/y/def"... This patch changes wildmatch so that users can do - "**/def" -> all paths ending with file/directory 'def' - "abc/**" - equivalent to "/abc/" - "abc/**/def" -> "abc/x/def", "abc/x/y/def"... - otherwise consider the pattern malformed if "**" is found Basically the magic of "**" only remains if it's wrapped around by slashes.
