Add wildcard-to-regexp support to QRegularExpression

This method will make QRegularExpression on par with QRegExp and
will allow to replace this class when a wildcard expression can be
set through an API (e.g. QSortFilterProxyModel::setFilterWildcard).

For other use cases, see QTBUG-34052.

[ChangeLog][QRegularExpression] Implemented support for wildcard
patterns.
Warning: QRegularExpression might not give the exact same result
as QRegExp as its implementation follows strictly the glob patterns
definition for the wildcard expressions.
