search: support globbing for selected keywords

Administrator requested to merge sh/globbing into master

Created by: stefanhengl

Relates to #10094

This PR adds support for globbing for the keywords repo, file, and repohasfile. Support for globbing is disabled per default. It can be switched on in the org/user settings like this:

{
  "search.globbing": true
}

The feature is implemented as part of the new parser, which means it is (for now) limited to queries containing AND or OR. We can backport the feature to the old parser if we want to roll it out before the new parser is ready.

Example of a query that will be supported:

repo:*sour*ph file:*.go -file:*_test.go foo and bar

If the user submits a query with an invalid glob, we show an error like this
