Fixed Escaped Meta in the "Base" of the Pattern

If the "base" of a pattern (ie, everything up to the first path slash before any meta characters) contains an escaped meta character, doublestar would fail to glob any files.

Thanks to @tdurieux for finding and fixing this bug!

Breaking-ish Change

I've updated SplitPattern to unescape meta characters in the first returned string. I suspect this shouldn't cause issues for anyone because, if anyone was using this function, they've probably either never passed a pattern with escaped meta characters, or hand-rolled an unescape method to fix the bug - which will now be a no-op for them.

Fixed FilepathGlob("")

To be consistent with filepath.Glob, FilepathGlob("") returns nil.

Added MatchUnvalidated, PathMatchUnvalidated

These functions provide a small performance improvement in cases where you don't care about whether or not the pattern is valid (maybe because you already ran ValidatePattern).

Fixed Match bug with patterns like `a/**/`

Thanks @mmxmb for submitting the bug and opening a PR in #89!

Added WithNoFollow

Added a WithNoFollow option for Glob, GlobWalk, and FilepathGlob that will cause doublestar to not follow symlinks. However, note that there is a caveat due to io/fs limitations: if the pattern mentions a symlink before any meta characters, those symlinks will be followed. For example: path/to/symlink/* will follow the symlink, assuming it is valid and links to a directory. path/** and path/*/symlink/* will not follow the symlink.

Added WithFilesOnly

Added a new option for Glob, GlobWalk, and FilepathGlob called WithFilesOnly that will cause these functions to only return files. For example, a pattern such as folder/* will only return the files inside the folder, and not any directories. Note that symlinks to directories are considered directories for this purpose.

Added WithFailOnPatternNotExist

Added the option WithFailOnPatternNotExist to Glob, GlobWalk, and FilepathGlob. This option will cause doublestar to abort if the pattern references a path that does not exist, for example, nonexistent/path/*.
