[3.12] GH-105113: Improve performance of `pathlib.PurePath.match()` by barneygale · Pull Request #105114 · python/cpython

We now compile a `re.Pattern` object for the entire pattern. This is made
more difficult by `fnmatch` not treating directory separators as special
when evaluating wildcards (`*`, `?`, etc), and so we arrange the path parts
onto separate *lines* in a string, and ensure we don't set `re.DOTALL`.
