disableGlobbing option: treat glob-like paths as literal paths

[octachrome]

As discussed with @es128 at #300.

Naming options is always tricky, so shout if you have a better suggestion than ignoreGlobs.

If you're happy with the code, I'll update the docs.

Cool, I'm glad the easy approach seems to work out. Thanks for the PR.

As for the option name, I don't think ignoreGlobs is very clear about the intent. Perhaps disableGlobbing?

Also, if you don't mind, can we add tests showing this working on an individual file, as well as showing that other files that would match the glob pattern (if it were being treated as such) do not get watched.

@es128 I added some more tests - do they address your concerns?

[es128]

Yes. Thank you, great work!

Would I be right in saying that this ignoreGlobs option affects the watcher path only and not any filepaths passed to the ignored option?

I can't seem to get something like this to work - tried with relative and absolte pathing. It always picks up the changes!

Chokidar.watch("../Folder (1)", { disableGlobbing: true, ignored: "bin", ignoreInitial: true, depth: 5 }).on('all', function (event, path) {
    console.log(event);
    console.log(path);
}).on('error', function (error) {
    console.log(error);
});

@DaleMckeown The docs for ignored say "The whole relative or absolute path is tested, not just filename". So you need to use a regex. If you want to ignore files in any subdirectory named bin:

ignored: /\/bin\//,

Or if you only want to ignore files in a directory named bin in your root directory:

ignored: /^\.\.\/Folder \(1\)\/bin\//,

@octachrome Ah, thanks! I'll take a look and see if I can get that working tomorrow.
