[issue16626] Infinite recursion in glob.glob('*:') on Windows

[Serhiy Storchaka]

New submission from Serhiy Storchaka:

glob.glob() can fall in infinite recursion (causing stack overflow) on Windows with patterns which contains metacharacters in drive or UNC path ('*:foo', r'\\?\c:\bar'). This is my assumption, someone should confirm it on Windows.

Here is a patch, which fix an infinite recursion.
