upgrade `glob` to v13

[SuperchupuDev]

for packages using glob that can't migrate to either node:fs' glob or tinyglobby, we should try to upgrade their glob version to v13 as it dropped 33 dependencies! only issue is that the engines range is quite high at node >=20 and many libraries support older node versions.

we could also try to work with isaacs to make the package esm only since the range is very similar to the one of node versions that support require-esm, it'd make the package size a lot smaller

why not us why not migrate to native api https://nodejs.org/docs/latest/api/fs.html#fspromisesglobpattern-options ?

[43081j]

this is why the OP says this:

for packages using glob that can't migrate to either node:fs' glob or tinyglobby

some of these packages just can't bump their minimum node version yet, but could still get a win by upgrading glob.

once they bump their node version, we should use the built-in glob function or tinyglobby

[AugustinMauroy]

oh right my bad 😁

[sgravrock]

The other issue I see with Node's built-in glob functionality is that its pattern syntax is undocumented. There's a PR to fix that, but it's stalled. For packages I maintain where glob syntax becomes part of the public API, that's a blocker.
