GH-110417: Fix `glob` docs ordering (#110418)
Fix incorrect placement of `translate()` docs from cf67ebf.
Move "see also: pathlib" admonition to the bottom of the page, alongside one for fnmatch. This helps the module introduction flow more naturally into the function descriptions.
Add an "Examples" subheading just before the examples. This makes it more obvious that examples aren't specifically related to the preceding documentation of `escape()` and `translate()`.
