add startup files and the source builtin

- login shells (-l or argv[0] starting with -) read /etc/gosh/profile and ~/.gosh_profile, interactive shells /etc/gosh/goshrc and ~/.goshrc; --noprofile and --norc skip them - source file / . file runs a file in the current shell, nesting is limited to stop files that source themselves - errors in startup files and scripts are reported with file and line - ~ and the startup files use $HOME (like sh), the user database is only the fallback Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
add wildcards (*, ?, [...])

 Ohne Terminal bricht gosh bei einem fehlgeschlagenen Befehl nicht ab und beendet sich mit dem Exit-Status des letzten Befehls: `127`, wenn ein Befehl nicht gefunden wurde, `126`, wenn er nicht ausführbar ist, `128+n`, wenn er durch Signal `n` beendet wurde. Leere Zeilen und Zeilen, die mit `#` beginnen, werden übersprungen, Skripte können also mit `#!/usr/bin/gosh` beginnen.

 Damit funktionieren auch `ssh host befehl`, `scp` und `rsync`, wenn gosh als Login-Shell gesetzt ist. Befehle lassen sich mit `;`, `&&` und `||` verketten und mit Pipes verbinden, z. B. `ssh host 'cd /srv && git log | head'`.

+### Startdateien
+
+Beim Start liest gosh Startdateien und führt sie wie ein Skript in der laufenden Shell aus (Variablen, die dort gesetzt werden, bleiben also erhalten):
+
+| Shell                         | Dateien (in dieser Reihenfolge)              | abschalten mit  |

+| interaktive Shell             | `/etc/gosh/goshrc`, `~/.goshrc`              | `--norc`        |
+
+- Eine Login-Shell ist gosh mit `-l` oder wenn `argv[0]` mit `-` beginnt (so starten `login`, `sshd` und `su -` die Shell). Eine interaktive Login-Shell liest erst die Profil-, dann die `goshrc`-Dateien.
+- `gosh -c '…'` und Skripte lesen keine Startdateien, außer als Login-Shell (`gosh -l -c '…'`).
+- Fehlende Dateien werden übersprungen. Fehler werden mit Datei und Zeile gemeldet (`gosh: ~/.goshrc:4: foo: command not found`), die übrigen Zeilen laufen trotzdem.
+- Bash-Dateien wie `/etc/profile` oder `~/.bashrc` liest gosh bewusst nicht, weil es deren Syntax (`if`, Funktionen, …) nicht versteht.
+- Mit `source datei` (oder `. datei`) lässt sich eine Datei auch später einlesen, z. B. nach einer Änderung: `source ~/.goshrc`.
+
+Beispiel für `~/.goshrc`:
+
+```bash
+# Eigene Programme zuerst
+export PATH=$HOME/bin:$HOME/go/bin:$PATH
+export EDITOR=vim
+
+# Prompt-Farben (Anführungszeichen wegen des ;)
+export GOSH_COLORS='user=1;38;5;208:path=38;5;205'
+
+# Weitere Einstellungen nur, wenn die Datei existiert
+test -f ~/.goshrc.local && source ~/.goshrc.local
+```
+
+Beispiel für `~/.gosh_profile` (wird nur von Login-Shells gelesen, z. B. beim Anmelden an der Konsole oder per `ssh host` ohne Befehl):
+
+```bash
+export LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
+export PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH
+```

 Schlägt ein Programm fehl, gibt gosh selbst keine Meldung mehr aus (das Programm meldet den Fehler selbst), nur bei Fehlern von gosh, z. B. wenn ein Befehl nicht gefunden wird.

+### Wildcards
+
+Wörter mit `*`, `?` oder `[...]` werden durch die passenden Dateinamen ersetzt, sortiert:
+
+| Muster    | passt auf                                           |
+|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------|
+| `*`       | beliebig viele Zeichen (auch keine)                 |
+| `?`       | genau ein Zeichen                                   |
+| `[abc]`   | eines der Zeichen `a`, `b`, `c`                     |
+| `[a-z]`   | ein Zeichen aus dem Bereich                         |
+| `[!abc]`  | ein Zeichen außer `a`, `b`, `c` (auch `[^abc]`)     |
+
+```
+$ ls *.go
+main.go  main_test.go
+$ cat logs/2026-*/error.log
+$ ls -d */            # nur Verzeichnisse
+```
+
+- Muster gelten pro Pfadteil, `*` passt nie auf `/`: `*/*.go` findet `.go`-Dateien eine Ebene tiefer.
+- Versteckte Dateien (mit `.` am Anfang) werden nur gefunden, wenn das Muster selbst mit `.` beginnt: `*` findet `.bashrc` nicht, `.*rc` schon.
+- Passt keine Datei, bleibt das Wort unverändert stehen (wie in `sh`), `ls *.xyz` meldet dann also `ls` den Fehler.
+- In Anführungszeichen oder mit `\` davor sind die Zeichen normale Zeichen: `echo "*"`, `echo '*.go'`, `echo \*`.
+- Werte von Variablen werden nicht als Muster behandelt (anders als in `sh`): Nach `set P=*.go` gibt `echo $P` wörtlich `*.go` aus. So kann ein Variablenwert nie unbemerkt auf viele Dateien passen. `echo $DIR/*.go` funktioniert dagegen, weil das `*` direkt in der Zeile steht.
+- Bei einer Umleitung muss das Muster genau eine Datei treffen (`> *.log`), sonst meldet gosh `ambiguous redirect`.
