Update docs with support for globstar patterns (Dependency Scanning only)

James Liu requested to merge jliu/update-docs-with-doublestar-support-ds into master

What does this MR do?

Updates the Dependency Scanning documentation to reflect new support for globstar (**) patterns, implemented using the doublestar package.

See gitlab-org/security-products/analyzers/common!162 (merged) for the MR to the common package of the Secure analysers that adds this support.

Note that these documentation changes will need to be held for merging until gitlab-org/security-products/analyzers/common!162 (merged) and subsequent updates to each individual analyser are created and merged.

Author's checklist

If you are a GitLab team member and only adding documentation, do not add any of the following labels:

  • ~"frontend"
  • ~"backend"
  • ~"type::bug"
  • ~"database"

These labels cause the MR to be added to code verification QA issues.

Reviewer's checklist

Documentation-related MRs should be reviewed by a Technical Writer for a non-blocking review, based on Documentation Guidelines and the Style Guide.

  • If the content requires it, ensure the information is reviewed by a subject matter expert.
  • Technical writer review items:
    • Ensure docs metadata is present and up-to-date.
    • Ensure the appropriate labels are added to this MR.
    • Ensure a release milestone is set.
    • If relevant to this MR, ensure content topic type principles are in use, including:
      • The headings should be something you'd do a Google search for. Instead of Default behavior, say something like Default behavior when you close an issue.
      • The headings (other than the page title) should be active. Instead of Configuring GDK, say something like Configure GDK.
      • Any task steps should be written as a numbered list.
      • If the content still needs to be edited for topic types, you can create a follow-up issue with the docs-technical-debt label.
  • Review by assigned maintainer, who can always request/require the reviews above. Maintainer's review can occur before or after a technical writer review.
