[clang-tidy][NFC] Tweak GlobList to iterate backwards

[njames93]

Summary

By iterating backwards over the globs we can exit the loop as soon as we find a match.

While we're here:

• Regex doesn't need to be mutable.
• We can reserve the amount of Globs needed ahead of time.
• Using a SmallVector with size 0 is slightly more space efficient than a std::vector.

LGTM with a request to add a comment.

I'd appreciate a comment here that mentions *why* reversing backwards means we can early return. It took me a few tries to remember that glob patterns can undo earlier glob patterns, so that the last pattern is the one that matters.

It does list that fact in the documentation for the function, but I'll put it in here too.

Oh, I missed that from the header -- nevermind, it's your call if you want to add the comment or not. :-)
