match: avoid translating glob to matcher multiple times for large sets

For hgignore with many globs, the resulting regexp might not fit under the 20K
length limit. So the patterns need to be broken up in smaller pieces.

Before this change, the logic was re-starting the full process from scratch
for each smaller pieces, including the translation of globs into regexp.
Effectively doing the work over and over.

If the 20K limit is reached, we are likely in a case where there is many such
glob, so exporting them is especially expensive and we should be careful not
to do that work more than once.

To work around this, we now translate glob to regexp once and for all. Then,
we assemble the resulting individual regexp into valid blocks.

This raises a very significant performance win for large `.hgignore file`:
