Previously, `man gitignore` specified that `**` was invalid unless it
was used in one of a few specific circumstances, i.e., `**`, `a/**`,
`**/b` or `a/**/b`. That is, `**` always had to be surrounded by either
a path separator or the beginning/end of the pattern.
It turns out that git itself has treated `**` outside the above contexts
as valid for quite a while, so there was an inconsistency between the
spec `man gitignore` and the implementation, and it wasn't clear which
was actually correct.
@okdana filed a bug against git[1] and got this fixed. The spec was wrong,
which has now been fixed [2] and updated[2].
This commit brings ripgrep in line with git and treats `**` outside of
the above contexts as two consecutive `*` patterns. We deprecate the
`InvalidRecursive` error since it is no longer used.
Fixes #373, Fixes #1098
