globset: support backslash escaping

From `man 7 glob`:

    One can remove the special meaning of '?', '*' and '[' by preceding
    them by a backslash, or, in case this is part of a shell command
    line, enclosing them in quotes.

Conform to glob / fnmatch / git implementations by making `\` escape the
following character - for example `\?` will match a literal `?`.

However, only enable this by default on Unix platforms. Windows builds
will continue to use `\` as a path separator, but can still get the new
behavior by calling `globset.backslash_escape(true)`.

Adding tests for the `Globset::backslash_escape` option was a bit
involved, since the default value of this option is platform-dependent.

Extend the options framework to hold an `Option<T>` for each
knob, where `None` means "default" and `Some(v)` means "override with
`v`". This way we only have to specify the default values once in
`GlobOptions::default()` rather than replicated in both code and tests.

Finally write a few behavioral tests, and some tests to confirm it
varies by platform.
