Feature request: Use ripgrep's globs

[atishay]

With the -g option ripgrep can take a glob pattern which is much more powerful and faster than far.vim's glob matching. Is it acceptable if we have an option to disable far.vim's glob matching and use ripgrep's instead?

I am happy to help with a PR(might take some time, new to python and vimscript). Have a working brute force version that I can clean up if this is acceptable.

I really like this since it leverages rg's ability to use the .gitignore file rather than having to specify a farignore file.

Seconded, thirded, fourthed. Been reading though the source code for this. Trying to search for a single word via :Farf in my modest rails app takes, and I'm not exaggerating, three minutes. And where is that three minutes spent? Globbing files and ignored files! This right here:

far_glob.py:66

files = {f for rule in rules for f in root.glob(rule) if pathlib.Path.is_file(f)}

Ho-lee-smokes. I've got the glob all of node_modules/ because I want to ignore it? I don't even know what to say. Ripgrep can perform the query on my app in under a second, using the built-in ignore. But this...this is something else!

Otherwise, real solid plugin.

Should this be closed?
