File globs can now be absolute, e.g. starting with / or c:\
Also allow homedir relative, ie ~/

Globs can also have a trailing slash, in which case they only match
directories, not files.

Previously whether globs could match dirs was not totally consistent.
The matchFileGlob would match dirs, but the file monitor globs would
not. The file monitor globs can now match dirs (or with a trailing
slash, only match dirs). File monitors now also detect changes in the
file type, ie switching from file to dir or the other way around.

The file monitor are now pretty consistent between single file monitors
and globs monitors. They now have equivalent capabilities and share
code. For a single file or for a glob we can now control what we
monitor if the path is a file or a dir. In both cases we can monitor
mere existence, non-existence or modification time. For files we can
additionally monitor content hash.

File monitors now also detect changes in the file type, ie switching
from file to dir or the other way around.

New tests cover all these new file monitor cases. There are also new
tests for glob syntax, covering printing/parsing round trips.
