[issue5302] Allow package_data specs/globs to match directories

[Éric Araujo]

One implementation by George Sakkis is found in this thread: http://bugs.python.org/issue2279#msg82213

There are subtle issues with this feature.  For example, a glob pattern could match both package data files and Python submodules, leading to the same .py files being included as modules and data.  I’ll see how far I want to specify the behavior in tests and docs.
