Add support for ***, zsh style globstar that recurse symlinks  #224

@facelessuser

Description

@facelessuser

This could be enabled for those who wish to control recursive symlink searching on demand. I think it would use a flag GLOBSTARLONG (which is the opposite of the zsh flag wish shortens 3 to 2). This would normally be used instead of the FOLLOW flag, not with it. I think it would make sense if FOLLOW and GLOBSTARLONG are used together to defer to GLOBSTARLONG. Though, if used with MATCHBASE or pathlib's rglob, FOLLOW would force a *** to preceede the pattern vs **, and then GLOBSTARLONG would control explicit ** or ***. So that may be the only case using them together may make sense.
