Description
I have a handful of files that I'd like to include in the Xcode project via fileGroups. These files don't live cleanly under a single folder, but they do all match a glob pattern. XcodeGen supports glob patterns in other places such as target sources. I think this would be a valuable feature to add, and would improve behavioral consistency across the project spec.

Research direction
Start by locating the fileGroups project-setting handling and the existing glob-pattern support for target sources. Compare their behavior and determine the expected matching semantics; the work is done when glob patterns are accepted in fileGroups with consistent behavior and coverage.
