Bug#68602: glibc-doc: GLOB_PERIOD incorrectly documented

[herbert]

Package: glibc-doc
Version: 2.1.3-10
Severity: normal

The info page "More Flags for Globbing" says that:

`GLOB_PERIOD'
     The `.' character (period) is treated special.  It cannot be
     matched by wildcards.  *Note Wildcard Matching::, `FNM_PERIOD'.

However, the implementation is actually the reverse of this, i.e.,
GLOB_PERIOD implies !FNM_PERIOD.  This is logical as POSIX demands
that FNM_PERIOD be the default.
