Implement glob-like pattern matching

According to the recently updated version of the specification the shell
style wildcard matching is glob-like (see theupdateframework/specification#174),
and therefore a path separator in a path should not be matched by a
wildcard in the PATHPATTERN.

That's not what happens with `fnmatch.fnmatch()` which doesn't
see "/" separator as a special symbol.
For example: fnmatch.fnmatch("targets/foo.tgz", "*.tgz") will return
True which is not what glob-like implementation will do.

That's why before using `fnmatch.fnmatch()` we should manually check
that "targetname" and "pathpattern" are pointing to the same directory.
