t: check that a pattern without trailing slash matches a directory

Prior to v1.8.1.1, with:

  git init
  echo content >foo &&
  mkdir subdir &&
  echo content >subdir/bar &&
  echo "subdir export-ignore" >.gitattributes
  git add . &&
  git commit -m one &&
  git archive HEAD | tar tf -

the resulting archive would contain only "foo" and ".gitattributes",
not subdir.  This was broken with a recent change that intended to
allow "subdir/ export-ignore" to also exclude the directory, but
instead ended up _requiring_ the trailing slash by mistake.

A pattern "subdir" should match any path "subdir", whether it is a
directory or a non-directory.  A pattern "subdir/" insists that a
path "subdir" must be a directory for it to match.

This patch adds test not just for this simple case, but also for
deeper cross-directory cases, as well as cases with wildcards.
