Automatically Append Wildcard to Directory Paths in File Table Function

Automatically append a wildcard * to the end of a directory path with table function file. #66019 (Zhidong (David) Guo).
Automatically appends a wildcard * to the end of a directory path when using the file table function in ClickHouse.

Why it matters

This feature simplifies specifying directory paths for the file table function by automatically adding a wildcard to match all files inside the directory. It removes the need for users to manually append * to directory paths, making file input easier and less error-prone.

How to use it

When using the file table function, simply provide the directory path without a wildcard. ClickHouse will implicitly append * to include all files within that directory automatically.
