Azure-devops-docs: Add a globber example that can span directories
I was stuck for a while on getting a Release Pipeline to work. The drop path was not working, no matter what minimatch pattern I tried, even direct path to the file failed.
However, this globber did:
$(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)\**\*.appxupload
If this were in the examples list, it would have saved me a lot of time and bothering other MVPs :)

Update to clarify something. It seems that only _extended_ globbers won't work across directories. I'll rephrase this request to be:
"Please include a recursive wildcard and filename wildcard example: \**\*.fileextension"
Thank you.
