[ruby-core:87079] [Ruby trunk Feature#14765] Arguments passed to Open3.popen3() are not interpreted as regular expressions

Issue #14765 has been updated by Rushyanth (Rushyanth reddy).


In console when we write
```stdin, stdout, stderr, wait_thr = Open3.popen4("cat .*.yml")```
All the files with names starting with ```.``` and ending in ```.yml``` are shown
But when we do

```stdin, stdout, stderr, wait_thr = Open3.popen4("cat", ".*.yml")```

```stdout.readlines```

It returns an empty array

```stderr.readlines``` says  ```["cat: .*.yml: No such file or directory\n"]``` 

Because it is interpreting the string arguments as it is and looking for a file with name ```.*.yml``` and not interpreting as in the first case.
