[PATCH v2 07/11] docs: maintainers_include: properly handle file patterns

[Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org>]

handling asterisks inside file patterns atdescription part is
problematic, as ReST has special meaning for them. Due to
that, convert such patterns to literal strings.

Reported-by: Matteo Croce <teknoraver@meta.com>
Fixes: 420849332f9f ("get_maintainer: add ** glob pattern support")
