This function supports basic glob patterns that consist of:
* matches everything
? matches any single character
[seq] matches any character in sequence
[!seq] matches any character not in sequence
Args:
glob_pattern (str): glob pattern.
Returns:
str: regular expression pattern.
Raises:
ValueError: if the glob pattern cannot be converted.
