Directory sync rewrites awkward .gitignore lines instead of giving up on the file

One awkward .gitignore line no longer makes sync reject the whole file.

What

Ignore lines that sync previously could not match are now rewritten where possible rather than rejected, so a single tricky line no longer makes the whole .gitignore count as too complex to use.

Details
  • Trailing blanks and unicode spaces, bracket expressions, escapes and case-folding differences are normalized.
  • Rewritten lines are reported as adjusted with a reason of either "wildcards" or "spelling", and are marked internally as having been widened, so sync knows where it now matches more than git would.
  • Applies to directory sync only.
Evidence

a bracket expression, an escape or a trailing blank that sync reads differently from git

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
