verify_filename(): handle backslashes in "wildcards are pathspecs" rule
Commit 28fcc0b71a (pathspec: avoid the need of "--" when wildcard is used, 2015-05-02) allowed: git rev-parse '*.c' without the double-dash. But the rule it uses to check for wildcards actually looks for any glob special. This is overly liberal, as it means that a pattern that doesn't actually do any wildcard matching, like "a\b", will be considered a pathspec. If you do have such a file on disk, that's presumably what you wanted. But if you don't, the results are confusing: rather than say "there's no such path a\b", we'll quietly accept it as a pathspec which very likely matches nothing (or at least not what you intended). Likewise, looking for path "a\*b" doesn't expand the search at all; it would only find a single entry, "a*b". This commit switches the rule to trigger only when glob metacharacters would expand the search, meaning both of those cases will now report an error (you can still disambiguate using "--", of course; we're just tightening the DWIM heuristic). Note that we didn't test the original feature in 28fcc0b71a at all. So this patch not only tests for these corner cases, but also adds a regression test for the existing behavior.
