Prior to this commit, the resource hints for AOT applications would
generate JSON metadata with `java.util.regex.Pattern`, like:
```
{
"resources": {
"includes": [
{
"pattern": "\\Qbanner.txt\\E"
}
]
}
}
```
This regexp feature, as well as "includes" and "excludes" are not supported
anymore with the new metadata format. This commit removes the pattern
format which is now replaced by a "glob" format.
"globs" should only contain "*" (zero or more characters in a path
segment) or "**" (zero or more path segments).
Some instances of resource hint registration should be migrated as a
result.
For example, "/files/*.ext" matched both "/files/a.ext" and
"/files/folder/b.txt" in the past. The new behavior matches only the
former, unless the "/files/**/*.ext" glob pattern is used.
This commit also removes the "excludes" support, which was not widely
used and very often could lead to subtle behavior.
Closes gh-31340
