The identifier glob_pattern_type_t is not used elsewhere, so let's omit it. This makes it clearer that we're merely defining handy names for int constants, as opposed to defining a new type.

Also, names like __GLOB_NONE could cause problems when Gnulib is used on non-GNU platforms, which might use those names for other purposes. As glob_internal.h is not user-visible, let's use ordinary names. I suggest GLOBPAT_NONE, GLOBPAT_SPECIAL, etc., as done in the attached patch, which I installed into Gnulib.
