Enable recursive globbing for clear_path This commit enables recursive globbing in clear_path, allowing the usage of '**' to match an arbitrary number of sub-directories. Before this commit, clear_path used only non-recursive globbing. This allowed to use '*' to expand names within one directory, e.g. '/a/*/c' can expand to '/a/b/c', but not '/a/b/b/c'. With this commit, '/a/**/c' can be used to expand to '/a/b/c', '/a/b/b/c', '/a/b/b/b/c' etc. This is motivated by wanting to recursively delete all occurences of a filename with the 'stage4/rm' entry of a spec file. The '/rm' entries are processed with 'clear_path' in the existing code. Additionally, 'glob.glob' is replaced with 'glob.iglob', which returns the same files as 'glob.glob', but as an iterator instead of as a list (so it no longer necessary to hold all matches in memory at once). Recursive globbing has been added in Python 3.5.
