Chris Tate 0b468e40a1 Add fs.globSync, fs.glob and fs/promises glob
The three glob entry points run a port of Node 24's
lib/internal/fs/glob.js walk in scr_glob.c: the same LIFO queue of
(path, patterns) items over the sorted directory listings, the same
lstat, stat, readdir, realpath and seen-pattern caches, the same result
set in insertion order, and the same exclusion checks, so matches come
out in Node's order. Patterns compile with the existing minimatch port.
glob_match is split into a compile step and a test step so the walk can
reuse each compiled pattern and test it segment by segment.
nocaseMagicOnly is now an option, because exclude patterns turn it off.

Patterns (a string or string array) and options (cwd as a path or
file: URL, exclude as patterns or a function, followSymlinks,
withFileTypes) are validated in Node's order with Node's errors,
including the internal assertion Node hits for a non-string cwd with
exclude patterns. withFileTypes results are Dirent rows: name,
parentPath and the type probes. parentPath follows Node's rule for each
form: the joined path for globSync, the resolved path for fs/promises
glob.

fs.glob checks the callback and validates synchronously, then delivers
string[] or the walk's error through the filesystem callback queue.
fs/promises glob lowers as the source of a for await loop. The walk runs
when the loop starts, and the matches found before an error bind before
the error is thrown, as Node's async iterator yields them first. The
older glob(3)-based fs.glob branch is removed.

Corpus 5448-5452 and a node-types fixture check the behavior against
Node.
