Pattern Matching docs do not make sense?

[shoce]

Looking at the Pattern Matching docs https://github.com/minio/docs/blob/main/source/reference/minio-mc.rst#pattern-matching i barely can see the point.

Let's take the first example:

Pattern | Text | Match Result
abc*    | ab   | Match

it does not make sense to me, as the pattern starts with abc and the text is even shorter.

Another example from the docs:

Pattern | Text | Match Result
abc*c   | abcd | Match

also confuses me a lot - the pattern ends with c and the text does not.

hm - @djwfyi do you recall at all where the pattern matching stuff came from? Inclined to agree it looks wrong, but this looks like a table we would have pulled from elsewhere.

Either way seems fine to go through and clean it up, these should be similar to glob matching rules.

@donatello this looks a few years old - if most of our pattern matching boils down to blob-style we can say that and ditch the table. Or if you can recall how this came about that might help.
