Ross Smith IIandGitHub 49462448d0 feat(ignore): add .stignore escaping on Windows (#10205) ...

Based on the discussion in
https://forum.syncthing.net/t/towards-syncthing-2-0/24072/35 This PR
adds the ability for Windows users to use the pipe character (|) to
escape the metacharacters *, ?, [, and { in .stignore files.

Additionally, this PR adds the ability for the user to set the escape
character to backslash, or any character they want, by adding a line in
the form:

  #escape=X

(where X is any single rune), to the top of an .stignore file.

This would allow users to use the same .stignore file across platforms,
by simply adding

  #escape=\

to the top of the file.

### Testing

All tests pass in CI.
