posix: Avoid a stack overflow when glob is given many slashes [BZ #30635]

* posix/glob.c (__glob): Strip trailing slashes before the recursive
call, so it is not called for every slash in the pattern.
* posix/tst-glob-bz30635.c: Add two test cases that would previously
segmentation fault. The first test has many trailing slashes and the
second has many slashes following a wildcard character.
* posix/Makefile (tests): Add the new test.
