[PATCH 0/7] lib/glob: fixes, new features, and test coverage

[Josh Law <objecting@objecting.org>]

This series addresses several issues found in lib/glob.c and adds new
functionality with comprehensive test coverage.

Bug fixes:
  - Normalize inverted character class ranges like [z-a] so they
    match the same characters as [a-z] instead of silently matching
    nothing (patch 1).
  - Treat a trailing backslash as a literal '\\' character instead of
    consuming the NUL terminator and matching end-of-string (patch 2).

New features:
  - Accept [^...] as an alias for [!...] in character class negation,
    matching the behavior of git, rsync, and bash (patch 3).
  - Add glob_match_nocase() for case-insensitive pattern matching,
    useful for device model strings and filter expressions where case
    should not matter (patch 4).
  - Add glob_validate() to check pattern syntax upfront, detecting
    unclosed character classes and trailing backslashes so callers
    that accept user input can reject malformed patterns with a clear
    error (patch 5).

Test coverage:
  - Add 47 test cases covering backslash escapes, inverted ranges,
    caret negation, wildcards with empty strings, unclosed brackets,
    consecutive wildcards, and special characters (patch 6).
  - Add parameterized tests for glob_match_nocase() and
    glob_validate() (patch 7).

Build-tested with both lib/glob.o and lib/tests/glob_kunit.o.
