View Task #571

Summary: Add glob_path for interp and request

Difficulty: 1		Version goal: 1.3x
Status: Unassigned

Description
Now that the resolver's glob_path has become more inconvenient (it must be passed a list of component roots), we should provide

   $interp->glob_path("/foo/bar/*")

   $m->glob_path("foo/bar/*")          # can be relative to current component

This is a natural extension to $m->comp_exists.

Can you think of an efficient implementation for a file resolver if it took an arbitrary regex, other than testing every filename underneath each component root?
