[PATCH 0/8] posix: glob fixes and refactor

[Adhemerval Zanella <adhemerval dot zanella at linaro dot org>]

This patchset main target is to remove alloca usage on glob by
using a specialized dynarray for C strings (struct char_array).

It does not change any glob semantics, only internal glob buffer
management.  It also does not solve the potential stack overflow
due recursive allocation from wildcard in patterns [1] (although
an option would be go to pure dynamic char_array for this case).
