Gracefully handle invalid ‘ignore-paths’ regex crash about pylint HOT 4 CLOSED

Hmm, you're right, I have triaged too fast, I see an enumerate with a crash and I don't think anymore 😅

from pylint.

Thank you. It looks like the ** in the regex in the pyproject.toml is at the heart of this. Do we need a code-change @Pierre-Sassoulas, I could be missing something?

>>> import re
>>> re.match('project/tooling_context/**', 'project')
...
...
re.error: multiple repeat at position 25

Although we could handle the crash gracefully so some change is probably required :)

Thank you for opening the issue. This check created so much crashes since its creation. I would never have anticipated the crazy code constructs that can ends up in an enumerate when reviewing it.
