sparse-checkout: escape all glob characters on write

The sparse-checkout patterns allow special globs according to
fnmatch(3). When writing cone-mode patterns for paths containing
these characters, they must be escaped.

Use is_glob_special() to check which characters must be escaped
this way, and add a path to the tests that contains all glob
characters at once. Note that ']' is not special, since the
initial bracket '[' is escaped.
