Correctly handle the exclamation mark at the beginning of the pattern

[mrmlnc]

What is the purpose of this pull request?

This is a fix for mrmlnc/fast-glob#261.

What changes did you make? (Give an overview)

If the pattern has an exclamation mark with escaping at the beginning of the pattern, the base directory is proposed incorrectly.

// Before
\\!dir/* → \\!dir

// After
\\!dir/* → !dir

Wow! Looks like CI is broken and it is not related to my changes.

Travis — ok

Thanks @mrmlnc! I'll get the flakey CI fixed and release this.

By the way, how's fast-glob doing? I am considering it for the next major revision of gulp since we've had so many issues with node-glob.

Figured it out, the new npm broke scripts on windows for some reason. Patched the appveyor CI config to get it to pass. I'll rebase this in. Thanks again.

Published! Thanks again, and if you have a chance, I'd love to hear about fast-glob :)

By the way, how's fast-glob doing? I am considering it for the next major revision of gulp since we've had so many issues with node-glob.

Basically, all the «basic» scenarios work successfully (already tested by globby, parcel, prettier, nestjs, stylelint, relay, …). Sometimes there are problems with edge cases.

If you have any questions, I would be happy to answer them.

However, we have a several problems which users notice after switching from node-glob:

• The root directory does not exist in the results when the onlyFiles option is disabled (With onlyFiles: false directories at the root are not included mrmlnc/fast-glob#47);
• Negative patterns don't work if you specify then inside the ignore option (Ignore patterns don't work in ignore option mrmlnc/fast-glob#86).

Just some links:

• benchmarks
• compatible with node-glob
• We also have excellent documentation :P
