Matching specific file is not found when pattern contains parentheses

[zrh122]

Environment

• OS Version: Windows 7
• Node.js Version: v10.16.2

Actual behavior

two results is not same

Expected behavior

two results should be the same

Steps to reproduce

create directory and file, and run the code

Code sample

directory structure:

├── tmp(asd)
    └── a.tmp

from above directory, run script:

const fg = require('fast-glob');
const paths = fg.sync('./tmp\\(asd\\)/a.tmp');
console.log(paths); // []
const paths1 = fg.sync('./tmp\\(asd\\)/*');
console.log(paths1); // ['./tmp(asd)/a.tmp']

So, after some research we have a three ways to solve this problem:

• Check that the pattern is a static pattern and then strip escaped characters. In fact, this is a modification of user input, which can lead to problems.
• Check that the pattern has escaped characters and then move him to dynamic patterns. Looks good for me, but it can lead to loss of performance (only for patterns with escaped characters). Just add extra checks for the isDynamicPattern function.
• Do not escaped characters for filepath's (non glob pattern's). It is required that the user understood the difference, which is difficult and will still lead to problems.

And… right now i prefer the second solution.

We have a some problem here with pattern file-\\(suffix\\).md.

{
  dynamic: true,
  positive: [ 'file-\\(suffix\\).md' ],
  negative: [],
  base: 'file-', // by glob-parent
  patterns: [ 'file-\\(suffix\\).md' ]
}

Will be fixed with fast-glob@3.1.0 (#231).
