The fs.glob API was marked stable in v24 but the pattern parameter
lacked any description of supported syntax. This adds:

  • Pattern syntax reference table (*, ?, [abc], **, {a,b})
  • Platform behavior notes (case sensitivity on macOS/Windows vs Linux)
  • Cross-reference to path.matchesGlob()
  • Array.fromAsync collection example
  • Pattern syntax cross-references from fs.glob() (callback) and fs.globSync()

The fs.glob API was marked stable in v24 but the pattern parameter
lacked any description of supported syntax. Add a pattern syntax
reference table, platform behavior notes, a cross-reference to
path.matchesGlob(), and an Array.fromAsync example. Also add pattern
syntax cross-references from fs.glob() (callback) and fs.globSync().

I was just searching the documentation for this kind of thing, and couldn't find it, so I would like to see this PR get added to the docs.
