pathGroups using minimatch instead of real regexes

The new pathGroup addition is using minimatch, this being based on shell glob expansions makes it incredible hard to do differing matching on paths containing ../ updots, as these are not easily (if at all) added to the minimatch expression in unspecified depth. Yes, the codebase should import from the roots and not jump up arbitrarily, but sometimes the world is at it is. This shortcoming is not evident inside the PR tests themselves, as all these prefix with special characters: https://github.com/benmosher/eslint-plugin-import/pull/1386/files I didn’t find a way to express my wanted regex with minimatch, it would be great to have a shortcutting flag to just supply a real regex.

I’m not interested in a regex approach; I’d rather fix the way we’re using minimatch.

In other words, I’d expect you to be able to use globs - multiple globs in an array if possible - to achieve what you want, and if you can’t right now, let’s make that happen.

Pretty sure it doesn’t:

> minimatch("../../web_modules/preact.js", "**/web_modules/**")
false
> minimatch("../../web_modules/preact.js", "{.,..,../..,../../..}/web_modules/**")
true
