Glob support with initializationJson property in maven plugin

[divinedragon]

Describe the feature request
Mock-Server core supports providing initialization files as a glob argument. However, the same is not supported in the maven plugin. Glob support will allow to use the maven plugin consistently with standalone server.

If the value is provided as <initializationJson>mock-expectations/**/*.json</initializationJson>, plugin cannot resolve the files and thus server fails to initialize expectations.

Issue ported from mock-server/mockserver-maven-plugin#79

What you are trying to do
Provide initialization json files through globbing

The solution you'd like
<initializationJson> should support globbing

Describe alternatives you've considered
NA

Implemented in commit 8db9093. The Maven plugin now supports glob patterns in the initializationJsonPath property (e.g. src/test/resources/expectations/*.json). Uses FilePath.expandFilePathGlobs() to resolve matching files and merges all expectations into the initializer payload.
