help: properly document the default pattern
The default isn't to glob. It's relpath, which does no globbing at
all. Thus most commands and options like -X/-I and hg files require
`glob:` in front of them to actually do any globbing.
I think long ago the default was to glob, but that hasn't been true
for a long time.

Mercurial accepts several notations for identifying one or more files
at a time.
-By default, Mercurial treats filenames as shell-style extended glob
-patterns.
+By default, Mercurial treats filenames verbatim without pattern
+matching, relative to the current working directory. Note that your
+system shell might perform pattern matching of its own before passing
+filenames into Mercurial.
Alternate pattern notations must be specified explicitly.
