44722b808c Turbopack: import.meta.glob docs + edge case support (#92729)
## What?

Adds documentation and TypeScript types for `import.meta.glob` in
Turbopack, and implements additional edge cases for Vite compatibility.

### Documentation
- New `## import.meta.glob` section in the [Turbopack reference
page](/docs/app/api-reference/turbopack) covering: lazy/eager loading,
named imports, query strings (including the object form), multiple
patterns, negation, TypeScript types, and a full options table.
- `import.meta.glob` row added to the Module Resolution feature table.
- Migration note added to the [from-Vite
guide](/docs/app/guides/migrating/from-vite) explaining that
`import.meta.glob` works out of the box with Turbopack, with
before/after for the deprecated `as` → `query` migration.

### TypeScript types
- Added `ImportMetaGlobOptions` interface and overloaded `glob()`
signatures to `ImportMeta` in `packages/next/types/global.d.ts`.
- The overloads return `Record<string, unknown>` when `eager: true` is
passed and `Record<string, () => Promise<unknown>>` otherwise.

### Implementation (edge cases)
- **`import: '*'`** (namespace import): Treated the same as omitting the
`import` option (returns the whole module namespace), matching Vite
semantics. Previously would have generated broken `module["*"]` access.
- **`query` as object literal**: `{ query: { bar: 'foo', raw: true } }`
is now supported. Keys and values are URL-encoded and joined into a
query string (`?bar=foo&raw=true`).
- **Stricter option validation**: A non-object-literal second argument
(e.g. `import.meta.glob('./*.js', 'eager')`) is now a compile-time error
instead of a warning, since the options cannot be safely defaulted.

### Tests
- Execution tests for new features: namespace `import: '*'`, query
object, combining query with negation, explicit dotfile patterns.
- New `import-meta-glob-errors` execution test with issue snapshots
covering: too many arguments, non-string pattern, and non-object options
argument.

## Why?

1. The feature shipped in #92640 but had no user-facing documentation
and no TypeScript types.
2. Several Vite-compatible edge cases were not handled: namespace
imports (`import: '*'`) and query objects. These gaps would cause subtle
behavioral differences for users migrating from Vite.
3. Option validation was too lenient — invalid second arguments fell
through to defaults silently.

## How?

### Docs & types
- `docs/01-app/03-api-reference/08-turbopack.mdx` — new section, table
row, TypeScript subsection
- `docs/01-app/02-guides/migrating/from-vite.mdx` — migration note
- `packages/next/types/global.d.ts` — `ImportMetaGlobOptions` +
`ImportMeta.glob()` overloads

### Implementation
-
`turbopack/crates/turbopack-ecmascript/src/references/import_meta_glob.rs`:
- `parse_import_meta_glob()`: `import: '*'` normalized to `None`; query
object parsing via `urlencoding::encode()`; non-object options argument
now emits an error and returns `None`.
- `turbopack/crates/turbopack-ecmascript/Cargo.toml`: added
`urlencoding` workspace dep.

Note: dotfile/dot-directory filtering is not needed in
`import.meta.glob` itself — the underlying `Glob` pattern engine and
`read_glob_internal` already handle dotfile semantics correctly
(explicit `./.foo/*.js` matches, wildcards include them).

### Tests
-
`turbopack-tests/tests/execution/turbopack/resolving/import-meta-glob/`
— new cases for `import: '*'`, query object, query + negation, explicit
dotfile pattern, wildcard including dotfiles
-
`turbopack-tests/tests/execution/turbopack/resolving/import-meta-glob-errors/`
— new test suite for fatal parse errors with issue snapshots

### Checklist

- [x] Documentation follows the [docs contribution
guide](https://nextjs.org/docs/community/contribution-guide)
- [x] Execution tests pass (`cargo test -p turbopack-tests --test
execution -- "import_meta_glob"`)
- [x] `cargo clippy` clean
- [x] `pnpm --filter=next types` passes
