fs/path: expose internal-api `minimatch/glob` under path module.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Please describe the problem you are trying to solve.

i have a zero-dependency coverage-reporting-tool and would like to add a cli-option to exclude code-coverage based on file-glob-patterns, e.g.:

node jslint.mjs v8_coverage_report \
    --exclude=deps/*,test/* \
    npm run test

Describe the solution you'd like
Please describe the desired behavior.

expose ./deps/npm/node_modules/minimatch/minimatch.js under the builtin path module, e.g.:

import {minimatch} from "path";
minimatch("bar.foo", "*.foo") // true!
minimatch("bar.foo", "*.bar") // false!

Describe alternatives you've considered
Please describe alternative solutions or features you have considered.

i could re-implement ./deps/npm/node_modules/minimatch/minimatch.js into my zero-dependency-project, but i suspect there are many other projects out there that would benefit from exposing this api.

Update to this: I'm in the process of some updates to minimatch and glob to:

1. Bring it into the modern era (classes, promises, iterating/streaming results, etc.)
2. Improve performance and avoid ReDOS threats by just parsing and evaluating without building up massive regexps.
3. Support some edge cases that have always been a problem (especially: nested extglob patterns).

Once that's done, I'll be advocating for including it in core.

I think this would be a great addition, still! Can this issue be re-opened?

[MoLow]

@isaacs I intend to work on this.
since your comment was posted 8 months ago can I assume you are not working on it as well?

[MoLow]

I am re-opening this issue since:

1. it was raised again Request: mark test runner stable in Node 20.0.0 #46642 (comment)
2. mini-match seems to have had a major release lately

@isaacs is this still true?

Once that's done, I'll be advocating for including it in core.
