file(GLOB) needs more specific documentation on supported globbing operations

This issue was created automatically from an original Mantis Issue. Further discussion may take place here.

In the documentation, there should be specific mention of the globbing expressions supported include only *, ?, and [].

Specifically mention that brace expanding ({}) isn't supported.

Specifically mention that regular expressions in glob expressions are not supported.

Also, it should provide an example of doing multiple matches in a single expression: file(GLOB sources "*.cpp" "*.h").
