Hm, so bowerbird (a Windows machine) has been failing the pgbench tests
since this went in, cf

https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_log.pl?nm=bowerbird&dt=2019-01-20%2004%3A57%3A01

I'm just guessing, but I suspect that bowerbird is using a path spec that
includes a backslash directory separator and that's somehow bollixing
things.  If so, we might be able to fix it by converting backslashes to
forward slashes before applying quotemeta().

It's also possible that on Windows, "glob" handles backslashes
differently than it does elsewhere, which would be harder to fix
--- that would bring back my original fear that the appropriate
quoting rules are different for "glob" than for regexes.

Andrew, any insight?
