[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #59706] Avoid "canonicalize_file_name" on Windows

[Markus Mützel]

Follow-up Comment #16, bug #59706 (project octave):

It was necessary to add `const` qualifiers to the used `regexp` member
functions to make that object a `static const`.
IIUC, this is a change to the ABI that we cannot do on the stable branch. So,
I pushed the following change to the default branch:
https://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/cf059093ffbc

In case adding the `const` qualifier to member functions doesn't break ABI
compatibility, we could graft that change to stable.

IIUC, the patterns in comment #13 are ok as an input for `stat` and `lstat`
(that we call through the wrappers).
