Does not lint deeply nested template paths

See original GitHub issue

cfn-lint version: 0.9.2

Using ** path globs does not behave as expected. Assume the following directory structure

project:
  templates:
    - a:
      - b:
        - c:
          - foo.yaml
          - bar.yaml
        - d:
          - baz.yaml
          - quux.yaml
      - e:
        - ipsum.yaml
        - lorem.yaml
    - f:
      - zyx.yaml
      - quuz.yaml
    - main.yaml

If I use the glob format in .cfnlintrc:

templates:
- project/templates/**/*.yaml

The only files that are checked are project/templates/f/zyx.yaml and project/templates/f/quux.yaml. All others are ignored. I would expect project/templates/**/*yaml to match all deeply nested templates as well as project/templates/main.yaml.

This shouldn’t require bash to function. It should just work on systems that just have /bin/sh or use zsh.

I like @kddejong’s solution. Based on my research, getting recursive globbing working on 3.4 would require moving to something like pathlib. Adding recursive=True gets us compatibility back to 3.5 (which is pretty good) without the need for any significant code changes. I’m going to go ahead and approve it.
