New globbing behavior on the server side when using python

One can now glob files using paraview.util package in python. The function is called paraview.util.Glob(path, rootDir = None) This can be especially useful in a client server environment to fetch a list of file sequences avaiable in the server.

Let us illustrate its usage and assume that one holds a the list of files file0.png, file1.png in a directory dirPath.

import paraview.util

glob = paraview.util.Glob(dirPath + "file*.png")
groundTruth = [dirPath + "file0.png", dirPath + "file1.png"]

if groundTruth == glob:
  print("Success")
else:
  print("Failure")

This script will print Success.

Pythin Package fnmatch is used on the backend in the server side to process the input expression.
