GH-72904: Add glob.translate() function (#106703)

Add `glob.translate()` function that converts a pathname with shell wildcards to a regular expression. The regular expression is used by pathlib to implement `match()` and `glob()`.

This function differs from `fnmatch.translate()` in that wildcards do not match path separators by default, and that a `*` pattern segment matches precisely one path segment. When *recursive* is set to true, `**` pattern segments match any number of path segments, and `**` cannot appear outside its own segment.

In pathlib, this change speeds up directory walking (because `_make_child_relpath()` does less work), makes path objects smaller (they don't need a `_lines` slot), and removes the need for some gnarly code.
