Roshan Singh 346f288c32 docs: Clarify glob.match indexing requirements (#8935)
### Why the changes in this PR are needed?

The rule indexing docs say the indexer recognizes the normal `*`
operator, but two further conditions gate indexing and neither is
documented: the `*` must form a complete delimiter-separated segment,
and a `null` delimiter is never indexed. Policies that follow the
documented rule can silently miss the index fast path.

Fixes #8209

### What are the changes in this PR?

Docs only. Three sentences and three rows added to the "Glob statements"
section of `docs/docs/policy-performance.md`. The other table rows are
unchanged apart from pipe realignment, which markdownlint requires
because the new row is wider than the column.

### Notes to assist PR review:

Behavior confirmed against `globPatternToArray`,
`globDelimiterToString`, and `splitStringEscaped` in `v1/ast/index.go`.

### Further comments:

None.
