FYI this behaviour is inconsistent.
If anyone like me comes to this PR after looking at the glob() behaviour,
this cannot work for hooks that make use of a remote FS (like SFTPHook for
example). As the Python documentation states that glob() uses a mix of
os.scandir() and fnmatch.fnmatch() which make the code proposed here only
adapted to a local FS.
Thus, trying to use a path with a glob pattern and a hook to a remote FS
will have a random effect: either you're lucky and the glob() will not find the
equivalent path locally and just return that the path does not exist (the
sensor will never trigger); or in a worse case scenario you might trigger the
sensor for a file that exists locally and not in the remote...

> When using FileSensor, it is necessary to specify the exact path of the file
> or folder to be sensed.
> There are use cases where the exact file name may not be known. For example
> if a file is delivered daily, but includes the full timestamp of file
> creation in the name, such as
> {code:java}
> my_data_2019-03-01T13_45_03.csv
> {code}
> I would like the FileSensor to sense with a file path such as
> {code:java}
> my_data_2019-03-01*.csv{code}
