test: reproduce #1428 - root-level dir matching license glob gets vendored

[spoorcc]

The 'src:' sparse-checkout keeps license glob patterns (licen[cs]e*,
copying*, copyright*) without a trailing slash, so a root-level
directory whose name happens to match (e.g. "licensecore") is pulled
in wholesale alongside the requested subtree.

- Line 505: Update the keep-root preservation logic around keep_root so the root
entry is matched against the first src component using glob semantics rather
than literal equality, preserving directories selected by patterns such as
license*/. Add a regression case covering a globbed src value and retain
existing behavior for literal paths.
