Summary:                    [patch] Console documentation not loaded from XML
Description: 
On a fresh install of Asterisk I was unable to load the console
documentation from the core-en_US.xml file.  This results in CLI commands
such as "core show application Dial" displaying error messages.

I noticed the following log messages when starting asterisk:
I/O warning : failed to load external entity
"/var/opt/asterisk/documentation{/thirdparty/,/}*-{en_US,en_??,en_US}.xml"
[Jan 25 00:21:54] ERROR[2951]: xmldoc.c:1830
ast_xmldoc_load_documentation: Could not open XML documentation at
'/var/opt/asterisk/documentation{/thirdparty/,/}*-{en_US,en_??,en_US}.xml'

The first line (without the timestamp) comes from libxml2.  The second
line (beginning with ERROR[2951]) is from main/xmldoc.c.

The problem appears to be that the preceding glob() call around line 1801
is not actually expanding the list of possible files.  This results in the
glob string itself being passed as the filename back to libxml2 and no XML
documentation is loaded.
