"foo/**/bar" matches "foo/x/bar", "foo/x/y/bar"... but not
"foo/bar". We make a special case, when foo/**/ is detected (and
"foo/" part is already matched), try matching "bar" with the rest of
the string.
"Match one or more directories" semantics can be easily achieved using
"foo/*/**/bar".
This also makes "**/foo" match "foo" in addition to "x/foo",
"x/y/foo"..

Standard wildmatch() sees consecutive asterisks as "*" that can also
match slashes. But that may be hard to explain to users as
"abc/**/def" can match "abcdef", "abcxyzdef", "abc/def", "abc/x/def",
"abc/x/y/def"...
This patch changes wildmatch so that users can do
- "**/def" -> all paths ending with file/directory 'def'
- "abc/**" - equivalent to "/abc/"
- "abc/**/def" -> "abc/x/def", "abc/x/y/def"...
- otherwise consider the pattern malformed if "**" is found
Basically the magic of "**" only remains if it's wrapped around by
slashes.

dowild() does case insensitive matching by lower-casing the text. That
means lower case letters in patterns imply case-insensitive matching,
but upper case means exact matching.
We do not want that subtlety. Lower case pattern too so iwildmatch()
always does what we expect it to do.

One place less to worry about thread safety. Also combine wildmatch
and iwildmatch into one.

wildmatch returns non-zero if matched, zero otherwise. This patch
makes it return zero if matches, non-zero otherwise, like fnmatch().

wildmatch's coding style is pretty close to Git's except the use of 4
space indentation instead of 8. This patch should produce empty diff
with "git diff -b"
