The path package now contains only functions which
deal with slashed paths, sensible for any OS when dealing
with network paths or URLs. OS-specific functionality
has been moved into the new path/filepath package.
This also includes fixes for godoc, goinstall and other
packages which were mixing slashed and OS-specific paths.

When searching a list of directories, the files which match
the pattern are accumulated in a slice. If the glob has a
wildcard for the directory, and the wildcard matches a file
rather than a directory, then the files found so far are
discarded. E.g., path.Glob("*/x") in a directory which
contains both files and subdirectories. This patch avoids
discarding matches found so far when a file is found.

As discussed in http://groups.google.com/group/golang-dev/browse_thread/thread/926b7d550d98ec9e,
add a simple "path expander" function, which returns all the
files matching the given pattern. This function is called Glob
after glob(3) in libc.
Also add a convenience function, hasMeta, that checks whether
a string contains one of the characters which are specially handled
by Match.

path.Match() errors out when testing "*x" against "xxx"
because it matches the star non-greedily. Ensure that
the last chunk consumes the rest of the name.
