…ch() Add a new *recursive* argument to `pathlib.PurePath.match()`, defaulting to `False`. If set to true, `match()` handles the `**` wildcard as in `Path.glob()`, i.e. it matches any number of path segments. We now compile a `re.Pattern` object for the entire pattern. This is made more difficult by `fnmatch` not treating directory separators as special when evaluating wildcards (`*`, `?`, etc), and so we arrange the path parts onto separate *lines* in a string, and ensure we don't set `re.DOTALL`.
