    Fix glob processing on BSD systems. #40318
    
    On Linux systems, glob automatically ignores the errors ENOENT and
    ENOTDIR because they are expected during glob expansion. But BSD
    systems do not ignore these, resulting in glob failing when globs
    expand to invalid paths. This is fixed by adding a custom error
    handler that ignores only these two errors and removing the
    GLOB_ERR flag as it makes glob fail even if the error handler
    ignores the error and is unnecessary as the error handler will
    make glob fail on all other errors anyway.
