Perform wildcard expansion in Process::GetArgumentVector on Windows (PR17098)

Summary

On Windows, wildcard expansion isn't performed by the shell, but left to the program itself. The common way to do this is to link with setargv.obj, which performs the expansion on argc/argv before main is entered. However, we don't use argv in Clang on Windows, but instead call GetCommandLineW so we can handle unicode arguments. This means we have to do wildcard expansion ourselves.

Here is a stab at making GetArgumentVector perform wildcard expansion. I'm very open for ideas on how to test this, and also if this is the right place for the code to live.

The code looks fine but it needs tests.

Can we use FindFirstFile?

Yes, it seems I'm not using any of the Ex capabilities.

As per your offline comment, I'll see if I can just reuse Dir and avoid this copying.

The code looks fine but it needs tests.

We don't have anything exercising this code in LLVM, but I can test it from Clang with the lit test below. What do you think?

Clang does wildcard expansion on Windows. On other OSs, it's done by the shell.
REQUIRES: system-windows

RUN: %clang -c -### %S/Inputs/wildcard*.c 2>&1 | FileCheck %s
CHECK: wildcard1.c
// CHECK: wildcard2.c
