Content
Given a `pathlib.Path` that contains symlinked subfolders, `Path.glob` (and `.rglob`) do not follow symlinks.  This is not consistent with `glob.glob` which does.

For example given the following:
C:\Folder
C:\Folder\Subfolder -> D:\Subfolder
D:\Subfolder\File.txt

`pathlib.Path('C:/Folder').glob('**/*')` yields the following paths:
WindowsPath('C:/Folder/Subfolder')

`glob.glob('C:/Folder/**/*')` yields the following paths:
'C:/Folder\\Subfolder'
'C:/Folder\\Subfolder\\File.txt'

Notice how the contents of Subfolder are present in the `glob.glob` results but not for `Path.glob`.

I would expect `Path.glob` to be consistent with `glob.glob`.  This is not the only inconsistency (e.g. #22276, #31202) and perhaps `Path.glob` should be re-implemented using `glob.glob`.
