[issue16240] Document a way to escape metacharacters in glob/fnmatch

Ezio Melotti added the comment:

For a literal match, wrap the meta-characters in brackets.  For example, ``'[?]'`` matches the character ``'?'``.

Stating the goal at the beginning of the sentence will make this easier to find while skimming through the doc.
